Adopt A Family Program

Megan’s Wings Adopt-a-Family Program has been adopting families through City of Hope, Kaiser Permanente Fontana & Loma Linda Children’s Hospital for the holidays since December 2006.

December is generally the most cost-intensive month of the year for most families. Add the economic difficulties that often result from caring for a critically ill child, makes December financially stressful for many pediatric oncology families. The Adopt A Family Program’s intent is to alleviate some of the financial stress this time of year for families with little resources.

Since the Adopt A Family Program began, Megan’s Wings has brought Christmas joy & hope to over one hundred families in need.

Families are selected through social services at each hospital after meeting general Adopt A Family guidelines. Family’s fill out an Adopt A Family Form providing a wish list for each child within their family (siblings included). Megan’s Wings volunteers take these precious wish lists and purchase gifts the children really want, but the family can’t afford. Each gift is lovingly hand wrapped and the care packages are delivered by volunteers to the families at their home bringing joy and hope in a very personal way. Each family also receives a much needed gas, grocery & clothing voucher to help with general expenses during this expensive time of year.

 

Megan’s Wings Adopt A Family program offers a unique way for individuals to make a real impact on a critically ill child and their family. Different levels of adoption are available through this Donor-to-Family Matching Program.

All donations are 100% tax deductible.
