Cases for Smiles - Houston

Cases for Smiles - Houston Ryan's Case for Smiles and it's Houston volunteers are helping kids feel better to heal better. A hospital stay can be a terrifying experience for a child.

Ryan's Case for Smiles is dedicated to helping sick children cope with the stress of life changing illnesses and injuries. We provide children with whimsical pillowcases throughout North America to give them an emotional boost and hope that enhances their emotional well-being. So terrifying that 20% of children who survive cancer meet the full clinical diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). That's a similar rate of PTSD to all U.S. Military Veterans since the Vietnam War. The good news is our whimsical pillowcases actually provide children with seven proven stress relievers during their hospital stays. These stress relievers include:
1. Comfort
2. Distraction / Play
3. Choice / Control
4. Familiarity
5. Expression
6. Connection
7. Hope

Our new partnerships with the nation's leading child psychologists are helping us develop and distribute coping tools for families, with a goal to help children feel better to heal better. With every stitch, every yard of fabric and every pillowcase, we get one step closer to our goal of helping kids with life changing illnesses or injuries, feel better to heal better.
