Cards for Hospitalized Kids (CFHK) is a charitable organization that spreads hope, joy & magic to hospitalized kids across America through uplifting, handmade cards. CFHK distributes "general" cards monthly, as well as holiday cards for major holidays, to Children's Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses in all 50 states.
​While receiving a card may seem simple, it is truly impactful for hospitalized kids and their families.
Instructions:
- Since we do not yet know the child's name, please do not address the card to a specific person.
examples: "Hey there" "Hey you!" "To: a very special person"
-We recommend writing uplifting messages on the front and inside of the card. At the request of our card-receiving hospitals, we ask you not to write "Get well", "Feel Better" or other illness-related comments. We prefer to focus on the child as a whole, rather than their illness.
-Sign your first name on the card. Please do not include your last name.
If you wish to, you can also include your state or organization, such as: "Carly from Nebraska", or "Carly from Key Club at Penn State University"
*give all finished letters to VPS to mail
Please DO NOT:
-Include any personal information, such as: phone number, address, personal social media handles, email address etc. Hospitals will not allow us to distribute cards with this information.
-Write any religious comments such as "God Bless" or "I'm praying for you". Hospitals do not allow us to distribute cards with these comments. Hospitals treat patients of all religions as well as patients that do not practice religion.
