What's Happening?
The Moonbeams for Sweet Dreams tradition continues to bring light and hope to children at Corewell Health Children’s Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan. Each night, volunteers gather outside the hospital to shine flashlights towards the pediatric rooms,
while the children respond with their own lights. This event, which runs through the holiday season, aims to provide comfort and a sense of community to young patients and their families during a challenging time.
Why It's Important?
This tradition highlights the power of community support and the positive impact of small acts of kindness on the well-being of hospitalized children. It serves as a reminder of the importance of emotional and psychological support in healthcare settings, particularly for young patients who may feel isolated during their hospital stay. The event also fosters community engagement and volunteerism, demonstrating the role of collective efforts in enhancing patient care and morale.
