Project Sunshine arranges for volunteers to periodically relieve parents from staying overnight in the hospital with their child. This allows the parents to catch up with responsibilities at home and rejuvenate themselves at the same time. Project Sunshine arranges for volunteers to stay with hospitalized children during the day, at times when a parent or family member cannot be there. The volunteers are trained to make this time as fun-filled as possible.
Parties feature music, food, toys and entertainment.
Parties are arranged several times a year for various holidays. Programs that are both fun and educational are arranged to address the needs and concerns of the sisters and brothers of the patient. We arrange for interpreters for foreign patients who are faced with the extra challenge of a language barrier. We arrange for meals for children and families with special dietary needs.
