    Description

    When a child is in pain or feeling ill, you never hear them say "I want to go to Disney World". Rather, they say "I WANT MY MOMMY" or "I WANT MY DADDY" and we make it easier for Mommy and/or Daddy to spend time with their critically ill and/or medically fragile child by having volunteers help with some of the day-to-day tasks that rob parents of important time and energy, like housekeeping, laundry, lawn maintenance, pet care, and other little jobs.
