How can the spirits of critically ill children be raised? Alexis Weisel (co-president of the Monarch High School National Art Honor Society, 2010-2011) had this question in mind when she initiated and developed the Wings for Angels Project after hearing about the Believe in Tomorrow (BIT) organization through her art teacher, Ellen McMillan. The BIT Foundation is a national leader in hospital and respite housing services. BIT has provided more than 560,000 individual, overnight hospital and respite housing accommodations to families with critically ill children, from every state in the United States and seventy-six countries worldwide. In this article, the authors suggest some creative ideas that can provide assistance to critically ill children and their families. (Contains 2 online resources.)
