You may have heard Stories of Hope from HopeKids North Texas and 89.7 WAY-FM. Now, we’re turning that into “Letters of Hope”…and we need YOUR help to do it! HopeKids exists to restore hope and transform the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions and their families. We’re inviting you to join us in writing a letter of hope to a child struggling through a difficult medical condition, along with encouragement for their family!
