Welcome to Healing Chapters Foundation
The Healing Chapters Foundation is dedicated to providing books to children of all ages who are dealing with physical or mental illnesses.
Our Mission
The Healing Chapters Foundation is a volunteer-run 501(c)3 corporation dedicated to providing books to children of all ages who are dealing with physical or mental illnesses. By providing entertainment and enjoyment, the Foundation hopes to contribute the healing powers of reading or being read to as a source of comfort to these young patients in need.
Founded by the author of children’s novels shortly after learning of the needs of the Rochester, MN Ronald McDonald House, the Foundation is focused on working with health organizations to provide them with an inventory of books to distribute to the patients and families that they service.
