A look back at 2010

Caiden's Hope was formed in the summer of 2010 and was named for baby Caiden born in Ventura, California earlier in the year.  His family and friends formed Caiden's Hope to help other families facing similar struggles.

Following his birth, Caiden was transported by ambulance to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California for treatment.  He remained at the hospital for the next two months.  His father and grandparents visited him as often as possible, while his mother remained by his side.  She was forced to make unexpected and costly travel arrangements so she could be with him every day.  The expense of hotel arrangements was the driving force behind the creation of Caiden's Hope.  To learn more, you can listen to Caiden's Story by visiting our website at http://www.caidenshope.org/

Caiden's Hope is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization that is dedicated to helping provide travel arrangements for familes enduring the hardship of a loved one undergoing long term medical care.  We focus on alleviating the unexpected financial burden associated with air travel, hotels and other related expenses.

The 2010 goal of Caiden's Hope was to help one family.  Thanks to the wonderful support we have received to date, we have been able to help four families and will be assisting another family in early February.
