'Tis the Season for Making a Difference

“Each year it is estimated that 18 percent of all children in the US -- 22 million children -- suffer from chronic illness – Soaringwords is the power to heal.”

The holidays are a wonderful time for families to spend time with each other and give thanks for the blessings they have been given throughout the year. For families with ill, hospitalized children however, the holidays can be an emotionally and physically challenging time where miracles become the only source of hope. These families need support, especially during the holidays, to help them and their children get through this rough time.

At Vardy Orthodontics we have once again teamed with Soaringwords to support the children and families that are in the hospital this holiday season. We have purchased blankets and pillows for our patients, parents, and referring doctors to decorate with encouraging words throughout Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years. In January we will deliver the decorated blankets and pillows to the children and families to give them hope and show them our never ending support.

From now until January please stop by our office and help us decorate the blankets and pillows with words of encouragement, positive messages, and inspiring pictures. Help spread hope this holiday season to children and families within our community.
