Our Kids
The Starfish Parable:
One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked along he came upon a young by who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, "I'm saving these starfish, Sir".
The old man chuckled aloud, "Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you! What difference can you possibly make?"
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, "I made a difference to that one."
We consider it our privilege to have been invited to share in the lives of the chronically ill children we serve striving to make a difference, one room at a time! Scroll down to meet each of these great kids. Click on each child’s mini bio to learn more about them and see the before and after makeover photos of their rooms!
