Hope For Kids

Hope For Kids is a new organization supporting families in the Bow Valley who have a sick child. Their aim is to ease the stress these families are facing with support tailored to their specific needs.

Amanda Carrington and Sarah Short both have a first-hand knowledge of the kinds of needs families with sick children face – they both experienced the tragedy of losing a child to cancer at a young age.  Hope For Kids was born as a way to organize the kind of support they received from family and friends during their journey and also get the local business community involved, with Pizza Hut and the Rocky Mountain Bagel Co. examples of those currently offering support.
