RYAN'S CASE FOR SMILES HELPS WITH THE STRESS AND EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF ILLNESS IN THE HERE AND NOW. OUR WHIMSICAL PILLOWCASES GIVE CHILDREN AN EMOTIONAL BOOST, WHILE OUR COPINGSPACE AND JUSTSIBS RESOURCES AND TOOLS HELP FAMILIES BETTER UNDERSTAND AND COPE WITH THE EXPERIENCE.
Activities or mission (Part I)
A HOSPITAL STAY CAN BE A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE FOR A CHILD - ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH CANCER AND OTHER LIFE-CHANGING ILLNESSES. RECENT RESEARCH INDICATES 20% OF CHILDREN WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED WITH CANCER AND 30% OF THEIR MOTHERS SUFFER FULL SYMPTOMS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD). THESE RATES ARE COMPARABLE TO THAT EXPERIENCED BY U.S. WAR VETERANS SERVING SINCE THE VIETNAM WAR. THE GOOD NEWS IS TRAUMA CAN BE MINIMIZED AND OUTCOMES IMPROVED THROUGH EXPERIENCES THAT REDUCE STRESS. THE ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED IN 2007 TO BRING COMFORT AND SUPPORT TO YOUNG PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN HOSPITALS AROUND THE GLOBE. WE STARTED WITH A SIMPLE GOAL: TO CREATE AND DISTRIBUTE WHIMSICAL PILLOWCASES THAT GIVE CHILDREN AN EMOTIONAL BOOST AND REMIND THEM THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFINED BY THEIR ILLNESS. TODAY, OUR PROGRAMS HAVE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE CHILDREN'S ENTIRE FAMILIES SO THEY CAN BETTER NAVIGATE AND COPE WITH A VERY DIFFICULT EXPERIENCE AND AVOID LONG TERM EMOTIONAL DRAMA.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
