WHAT WE DO
Nadia’s Howse of Hope feels that Academic support during hospitalization and
outpatient treatment is important in preparing for the eventual transition back to a
traditional school setting. We want to help patients maintain or regain academic
progress and skill development during hospitalization and treatment.
Nadia’s Howse of Hope will help support these academic needs by providing them with
educational devices while in the hospital. The items we purchase can range anywhere
from enabler devices, iPads, iPods, to very basic needs such as books, pens, pencils
and paper.
Nadia’s Howse of Hope realizes that it is critical for children to maintain normal routines and expectations, especially during times of stress, like hospitalization. Normalcy helps children and adolescents feel safe, increases positive coping, and enhances success both in and out of the hospital. Children who are hospitalized regularly due to chronic illness can miss precious classroom time, not to mention the social benefits of being with their peers. By purchasing educational items, Nadia’s Howse of Hope believes that the patient will be empowered to rejoin their classmates full time in the future. It is for these reasons, we want to help!
