Ella is part of Disney Friends for Change!!!!

Our special little hero was selected to receive a grant from Disney Friends for Change YSA (Youth Service America, Youth Changing the World) to help change the world! There are a limited number of grants awarded each year, and Disney has recognized the amazingly giving spirit in this child. Details are below. If you think you'd like to attend (April 28th, in Williamstown, NJ), please send an email to hopeforella@gmail.com as the building where the event is being held is close to reaching max capacity!!

LOVIN' YOUR NOGGIN--A DISNEY FRIENDS FOR CHANGE/YSA COMMUNITY EVENT!
Join Ella in making hats and headbands for the children at CHOP losing their hair due to chemotherapy treatments. These kids experience a lot of pain and face many challenges. Receiving thoughtful gifts like these make them feel special. A hat or headband gives them a little normalcy in an otherwise not-so-normal situation. Let's love their noggin's and show them that people care. Let's give them hope and inspiration to continue their fight!

This is a free community service event brought to you by Hope for Ella and Disney's Friends for Change. Anyone can help!!! Young and old... crafty or not-so-much. We need folks that know how to knit, paint, make headbands, etc. to lead some of the craft tables. There will be activities for all level of crafting ability.

In keeping with Ella's vision please bring craft kits or games to be donated to CHOP to make the visits there a little more bearable or you can bring items for us to use to make lunch for our homeless friends on Terrific Treatment Thursdays!!! Items like Peanut Butter, Jelly, Tuna, Mayo, shelf-stable fruits, snacks/crackers/granola bars, bottled water. The above is not a requirement to attend the event but just a way to pitch in Hope for Ella's vision.
