Who?

Honestly, I had never heard of one before I started contacting hospital gift shops about Kare’n Cards. When I talked about them with other people, most had a blank look on their face and questioned, “Who?”

The mysterious individuals I’m talking about are Child Life Specialists. Child Life Specialists help children and their families cope and live with a serious even life threatening illness.

The first one I met was amazing.

The five hundredth one I met was amazing.

The one thousand one hundred and ninety seventh was amazing.

I think you get my point:

Child Life Specialists are amazing.

Next week I’m going to share some of their stories. If you know one or are one, I invite you to join the conversation and be a storyteller on this blog.
