Caiden Playing with His Elephant
This elephant toy sounds like a vacuum cleaner, but it blows air so it can bounce the balls out that are inside.
Love that sweet smile!

Bakersfield California Family Needs Assistance
Caiden's Hope is assisting a Bakersfield, California family tonight with hotel arrangements near the Mattel Children's Hospital in Los Angeles. Hospital social Services says 4 day old Daniel has a host of issues including cardiac distress.
Thanks to our supporters, the Gomez family is staying in a hotel and not sleeping on the hospital room floor or having to drive back to Bakersfield.

Welcome 2012
Caiden's Hope ended 2011 by helping a total of 16 families and contributed $5,100.75 to help those families reduce the stress that having a child in the NICU can bring. We look forward to helping even more families in 2012.
We are hoping that in 2012 we can find a national spokesperson to assist us in bringing our message to the entire United States, that we find an advertising agency that will help us spread the word to radio, television, newspaper and internet outlets and that by spreading the word we reach more hospitals in other parts of the country and assist those families as well.
Thank you to everyone that has donated to Caiden's Hope. We need you to continue to help spread the word, to engage your family, friends and employers. Together we can make a difference in the lives of these families that need our assistance.
