They made him feel brave and helped him do all the difficult Body things he needed to do to recover.” Belt With warm regards, Gloves Legs Boots Laurie Strongin Todd Foreman FOUNDER AND CEO CHAIRMAN Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report 3 The Boy Who Started it All Henry embraced each opportunity for living completely and reminded the rest of us to do the same. On October 25, 1995, Henry Strongin Goldberg was born. Two weeks later, he was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia, a disease that threated to take his life. His sparkly eyes, mischievous grin, and infectious smile were calls to action to smile back, laugh along, and dance with him. His boundless energy and indefatigable spirit were far more noticeable than his many surgical scars and low-platelet-related bruises. He suffered plenty of setbacks and spent more nights in the hospital fighting against whatever Fanconi anemia would throw his way. Just when it looked like the disease was too tough of an opponent, Henry would rise up and get back to the life he chose to lead. He had ice cream for dinner and transitioned from the hospital to running a lemonade stand in a matter of minutes. In trying to save Henry’s life, his parents, Laurie Strongin and Allen Goldberg, spent hundreds of nights in hospitals across the country. High-quality medical care treated Henry the Patient, but the needs of Henry the Kid went unmet. Laurie and Allen found that by giving Henry the chance to have a birthday party in the hospital, trick-or-treat in the hospital corridors, or meet his favorite superheroes not only brought normalcy to Henry’s life but also motivated him to get better and stay that way. On December 11, 2002, the unimaginable happened. Henry died. Recognizing the importance of optimism and play in the lives of seriously ill children, Laurie and Allen founded Hope for Henry in 2003. Since then, the stories of thousands of brave kids, parents, and medical professionals have confirmed that original insight. 4 Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report 5 Hope for Henry is Reinventing the Pediatric Patient Experience For 16 years, Hope for Henry has been singularly focused on reinventing how SPECIALIZED PATIENT EXPERIENCES hospitals care for seriously ill children and their families through innovative Young patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation have compromised programs that entertain, reduce stress, and empower children to be active immune systems that prevent them from being around other children. They participants in their own care. miss out on too many “normal” childhood experiences. Hope for Henry host events every week throughout the year to ensure that these kids experience Hope for Henry’s year-round program has three primary components: wonder, even while in the hospital. EMBEDDED FULL-TIME CHILD LIFE SPECIALISTS Hope for Henry Certified Child Life Specialists provide therapeutic activities and psychosocial and developmental support to help patients and families cope with stress and anxiety associated with traumatic health care experiences. INNOVATIVE PATIENT-CENTERED PROGRAMS A diagnosis of cancer or other life-threatening illness brings with it a significant disruption to a child’s day-to-day life. School, sports, summer camp, and other activities are replaced by long, isolating hospitalizations and painful medical procedures that are a necessity on the road to recovery. To address fear, loneliness, and the monotony of the hospital stay, Hope for Henry has developed a suite of innovative patient incentive programs designed to give kids control where otherwise they have little to none and to increase adherence to lengthy, arduous medical protocols. Hope for Henry also has specialized programming like its themed birthdays-in-a-box and specialized room décor through its Room of Your Own program, both of which provide critical, longed-for normalcy and entertaining distractions while kids fight to get better. 6 Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report 7 Why We Do What We Do - Kids Need More Than Medicine Hope for Henry is reinventing how hospitals care for seriously ill children and their families through innovative programs that entertain, reduce stress, and empower children to be active participants in their own care. 15,000 Every children in U.S. are diagnosed 15 minutes with cancer each year.

As the kids accomplish their medical challenges, Hope for Henry rewards them with Hope for Henry Bucks, which they earn and exchange for gifts like the opportunity to meet their favorite athlete or attend exclusive concerts, or for gift cards, Nintendo Switches, and Lego sets – whatever will motivate them to do what they need to do to get better. 10 Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report Belt Body Heads Boots Legs Gloves HOPE FOR HENRY’S SUPER REWARDS FOR SUPER KIDS Child life specialists can help reduce the fear of the unknown but, until now, haven’t had proper tools to encourage patients to successfully complete their procedures in a way that provides the patient with a sense of accomplishment and improved coping skills that positively impact future treatments. Hope for Henry’s procedure-based incentive program helps kids navigate all the steps necessary to successfully complete challenging medical procedures like proton beam therapy, MRIs, central line dressing changes, port accesses, and more. Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report 11 Spotlight on Four High-Impact, Innovative Programs IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY! FROM HOPE FOR HENRY Kids love birthdays. Before they even memorize their phone numbers or addresses, kids know the date of their birthday. They plan their parties —bowling, laser tag, dress up, sleepover — all year long and talk constantly about who to invite. No child ever plans to spend their special day in the hospital. That’s why we created “It’s Your Birthday! from Hope for Henry.” Hope for Henry has hosted over 1,600 birthdays for hospitalized children. 12 Hope for Henry Foundation | 2019 Annual Report HOPE FOR HENRY’S ROOM OF YOUR OWN Decorative pillows, plush bed blankets, colorful throw covers, fun wall decals, picture frames, and string lights are not the typical décor you think of when you envision the hospital room of a very sick child who needs extended care away from home. Now, thanks to a partnership with Dormify, children undergoing medical interventions requiring lengthy hospital stays can decorate their rooms, creating comforting, personalized spaces that help ease the difficult transition from home to hospital.

  • An Empathic Consideration of the Scapegoat in The
    AN EMPATHIC CONSIDERATION OF THE SCAPEGOAT IN THE NOVELLAS OF STEPHEN CRANE AND HENRY JAMES __________________ A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay __________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in English __________________ By Jin Mee Leal June, 2013 Copyright © 2013 by Jin Mee Leal ii Abstract Late 19th century literature often responds to the anxieties of class, gender, and race by participating in justifying the hierarchies as it relies on a deterministic setting and typically explores the grimmer, but often realistic, themes in American life. Critics who maintain a Naturalist reading today take the time period into account and justify the characters’ reactions by considering them as victims of their severe environment. But what is ultimately disregarded with this sort of reading is human compassion and one’s inherent desire to help another. In examining Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and “The Monster” as well as Henry James’ “Daisy Miller: A Study,” this thesis will argue that by having such harsh characters contrasted with caring (though fallen) characters, the concept of hierarchies and what is “natural” becomes problematized. By offering a new reading, contemporary readers may have a different viewpoint of what should be deemed as a justifiable action. With a more sympathetic reading, we may view these texts not just as a validation for this pessimistic literature, but texts that provide alternatives to how one could react in harsh situations. Crane and James offer the opportunity to question these social constructs and consider the unnaturalness of what has been previously deemed “natural.” We need to resist categorizing these important texts so that we can keep them alive and relevant.

B. Gerrang (1942) F0HE%33D One day, four or five years ago, one of jay children asked ise something about the origin of our village and at the time I dicing know the answer. Upon making soae inquiries along this line I soon discovered that my generation knew very 3-ittJ.e indeed about its own local history. That fact induced jse finally to go to soaaewhat greater lengths to get the early 6tory of our coiasiun- ity down on paper - for already it was surprisingly difficult to collect the scattered details of nmes and dates* It is a&azing ho soon such facts slip away into the past and are forgotten. I have a feeling that written records of the doings of our families and neighbors will be priced by our descendants, perhaps, in years to coiae. This country will not always be young. Some day the smallest American village, like its counterpart in the Old rld, will bear a weight of centuries; its early names and events, all that dramatic story of its birth here in the virgin wilderness of a new Continent, will lie far back in the diin mists of the past and can not then be recalled, save as they are preserved in written form.

He ran his fingers over the bumps and resisted the impulse to let out a primal caveman scream. It was building up in his chest, that long gutteral howl reserved for real emergencies -- like when you ran into a saber-toothed tiger without your club, or your fire went out during the Ice Age. He even went so far as to open his mouth and take a deep breath before he banged his head back into the screen with a quiet sound of frustration. "Ergh." What was the point, anyway? It wouldn't change one thing. Not the heat, not the boredom, not the endless space of summer laid out before him. He considered waking up Boots, his two-year-old sister, just for a little distraction, but he let her sleep. At least she was cool in the air-conditioned bedroom she shared with their seven-year-old sister, Lizzie, and their grandma.

    In MeMorIaM J. Wayne FrederIcks 1917-2004 One’s usefulness depends upon one’s living up to one’s ideals insofar as one can,” observed “Theodore Roosevelt. By this caliper, J. Wayne Fredericks’ life was an example to all. His ideals were inspiring, and he inspired all who knew him with his ability to live up to his high ideals. Listen to Nelson Mandela: “The role Wayne played both during the apartheid era and thereafter will never be forgotten. In his quiet and unassuming way, he made sure that not only South Africa but the whole of Africa was placed and remained on the agenda of those in office. We give thanks to God Almighty that Wayne lived a fulfilled life and touched millions directly or indirectly. His legacies will live forever and continue to inspire present and future generations. Africa will remain grateful to a man who believed in her capabilities, freedom, and future.” At Wayne Fredericks’ memorial service, these words were uttered by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu: “I’m glad, dear Wayne, that you lived to see the fruits of your endeavors in the fray of this injustice and oppression when South Africa became free. We owe you a great deal. We thank God for you; for your quiet gentleness and your immovable persistence in the fight for justice, equity, goodness, and compassion. I bring you the gratitude of millions of my compatriots.” Wayne Fredericks was a superb director of the Foreign Policy Association. His counsel was golden. He taught me many things. Above all, he taught me that our vocation in this world is a life well lived.
