Those efforts include providing:
- Care baskets for families when a child enters hospice
- Direct financial assistance
- Personalized birthday celebrations for children receiving hospice care
- The Butterfly Grant, which will be awarded during the gala
Funds will also support the foundation’s effort to establish Abbey House—a proposed pediatric respite and hospice facility in Central Texas.
Digging deeper
Foundation officials envision Abbey House as a place where children with complex or life-limiting medical conditions can receive temporary overnight care outside a hospital.
Trained staff members would follow each child’s established care plan, allowing parents and other caregivers time to rest, focus on other family members or manage additional responsibilities, according to the foundation.
