The Brain Candy Project GOES VIRTUAL!
Isolated parents need to find peer support with others who have been or are going through a similar pediatric health concern or loss of a child. Doing so can educate, comfort, and build a healing support network and community. Due to privacy laws, it is near impossible to do so while living in the hospital with one's child. To remedy this problem, The Brain Candy Project has developed a virtual retreat in the Nonprofit Commons (NPC) of Second Life, as a way for parents to virtually escape the confines of hospital walls.
The Brain Candy Project ENDOWMENT!
We have established our first permanent endowment at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. This important fund will, in perpetuity, pay for parking for parents who are living in that hospital with their critically ill children. While the endowment has been officially established, we still need to raise $15,000 to activate it. Won't you help? Contact us for information on how to host a 3rd party benefit for this special initiative!
