Featured Stories: Meet Emmett
Less than 2 hours after being born, Emmett was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Within one year he began battling chronic pneumonia and swallowing issues – leading to monthly hospital stays to treat his lungs. Emmett loves music, and in his hospital room there would always be music!
The Kansas Children’s Foundation provides music therapy (and other resources and programs) to children like Emmett – giving each child emotional support and comfort during hospital stays.
There are few things harder than seeing your child suffer, especially at a hospital. I was greatly comforted knowing that Emmett had music therapy to get him through blood draws, suctioning, x-rays, and surgery. He would instantly calm when the music began, and for that I am deeply thankful!

Kind Words from Parents Just Like You
It was such a burden relieved for our family; we are so lucky to be on the receiving end of the Kansas Children’s Foundation.

Reese loves the art therapy and music therapy programs. All the support has helped her blossom into a social, fun loving little girl despite facing cancer. The support really is a light to us in this dark time!
~April Horn, Patient’s Mother
Davis’s favorite activity was a lesson playing the ukulele. He spent the afternoon performing ‘concerts’, and upon discharge told me: ‘this was the best day ever!’ A terrifying experience was made positive thanks in part to Music Therapy.
