Help bring the magic of movies to hospitalized kids by supporting LOLLIPOP THEATER NETWORK!!

via Crowdrise 12 months ago

THE STORY:

About eight or nine years ago, I started volunteering for Lollipop Theater Network in NYC. I quickly learned that these kids, some of whom would spend more of their lives in the hospital than out, saw and felt more pain than anyone should ever have to go through. Having one's childhood and innocence stolen at such a young age is a very tough thing for not only the kid, but for the siblings and parents as well. LOLLIPOP is able to give these kids some of their childhood back, if for only a couple of hours, while they escape into the magic world of movies, music, and art.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Funds are needed to keep our programs active for patients and their families. Our goal is to expand our national reach in helping to offer hospitalized children an emotional respite from the challenges they face every day.

Your generous donations will help fund LOLLIPOP's programming, which includes our movie screenings (of first-run films); our monthly music session, Rhythm of Hope®, in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville; artist days with Nickelodeon and DreamWorks Animation Studios at hospitals in Los Angeles; and celebrity visits with arts and crafts activities.

Any amount will help. There’s no boxes to check here, just the plea to give what you can – whether it’s $5 or $200 or $1000 or more. Your contribution will ensure that we continue to bring a sense of normalcy to kids who are confined to hospitals.

WHO BENEFITS

"It is always an exciting day when LOLLIPOP visits our hospital. LOLLIPOP's unique programming approach of bringing the arts to the hospital environment allows patients and families to integrate a normalizing and positive experience into their treatment plan. Many child patients often say, ‘My other life is on hold when I'm in the hospital,’ or ‘I'm always missing out on things my friends get to do.’ LOLLIPOP breaks the barriers and allows the ‘hospital world’ to be part of the whole. Many thanks for this wonderful program."                            

 --Rosy Evans (Child Life Specialist, Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital in NYC)

“I’d like to thank you for bringing the patients the wonderful movie…it let us forget we are stuck in the hospital. Thank you LOLLIPOP."

--Jonathan (Patient)

“This providential day for Cassie and her sister was just what she needed to feel like a normal kid, even if it was for only one afternoon. It has been a long time since we have seen the girls genuinely happy and truly enjoying themselves.”

--Michelle Ehrle (Parent)
