Letters of Hope

Hey! We love that you're interested in this, but just a heads up, it's for Dallas/Fort Worth.

You may have heard Stories of Hope from HopeKids North Texas and 89.7 WAY-FM. Now, we’re turning that into “Letters of Hope”…and we need YOUR help to do it!

HopeKids exists to restore hope and transform the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families. We’re inviting you to join us in writing a letter of hope to a child struggling through a difficult medical condition, along with encouragement for their family!

Choose a kid and a family and write a Letter of Hope below.
