Interests

  • General



    .. Our programs are geared toward seriously ill children and include:

  • Community events and outings for children and their families, which give families a chance to have fun together away from the hospital so they can relax, regroup and return home with a renewed sense of strength and hope.
  • Playrooms and special events designed to ease the loneliness, fear and boredom that accompany long hospital stays. Starlight Starbright has built more than 60 children’s playrooms and teen lounges in hospitals nationwide that provide children with an inviting place to play, relax and connect.
  • Technology-based programs that help kids fill the long hours with fun, and stay connected to their friends, keep up with school work and chat with other seriously ill children.
  • Educational programming via CDs, DVDs and the Internet that helps sick children understand common hospital procedures and manage illnesses such as cancer, sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, asthma, IBD and kidney disease.

About me:

For 25 years, Starlight Children’s Foundation has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with chronic and life-threatening medical conditions by providing education, entertainment and family events that help them cope with the pain, fear and isolation of prolonged illness.

We understand what families go through when a child is sick, and how important it is to find relief from constant worry and isolation. Our programs are designed to distract children from their pain, help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and connect families with others facing similar challenges to create a community of caring so they never feel alone. For more information, visit us online at www.starlight.org.




In the Spotlight:


A Word from Corbin Bleu: Starlight's New National Spokesperson.

My life has undergone monumental changes in the past few years. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I have been fortunate, beyond what words can describe.

But there is nothing I am more thankful for than my health, and the health of my family and friends.

I am all too aware that there are millions of young people around the country who are not as fortunate. Whether sidelined by an injury, or fighting against a disease, any child who is in the hospital is dealing with issues that even adults have trouble coping with. They may be confused and frightened by what’s going on around them, and they are most certainly overwhelmed. Kids are out of their element, and looking for a way to reconnect to the lives they had, before they were sick.

To say that Starlight changes lives is an understatement. This organization has done so much to give children battling illnesses a touchstone to their previous lives, and gives them a security blanket to hold onto during their toughest times.

At the same time, the programs offered by Starlight are educational, and give kids relatable, easily-understood background on what’s going on with their bodies, and gives them hope. Each game, movie, and video gives them insight that is proven effective during their stressful times.

I’m proud to work with Starlight, and bring a spotlight to the amazing work that they do.

    I asked God to take away my grief.
    And God said, "No....
    It is not for Me to take away,
    But for you to work through."
    I asked God to make my broken heart whole.
    And God said, "No ....
    Your spirit is whole,
    Your pain is only temporary."
    I asked God to grant me patience.
    And God said, "No....
    Patience is a by-product of tribulation,
    It isn't granted, it's earned."
    I asked God to give me happiness.
    And God said, "No....
    I give blessings,
    Happiness is up to you."
    I asked God to spare me pain.
    And God said, "No...
    Suffering draws you apart from worldy cares
    And brings you closer to me."
    I asked God to make my spirit grow.
    And God said, "No....
    Grow on your own.
    I do the pruning that makes you fruitful."
    I asked God if He loved me.
    And God said, "Yes....
    I gave My only Son to die for you."
    I asked God to help me love others
    As much as He loves me.
    He said, "Ah, finally, you have the idea."
    Have a nice weekend♥
    Love♥Jenmarie♥
