Soaringwords is the only organization that motivates ill children and their families to “pay it forward” through pro-social activities which foster altruism, reciprocity, well-being and resilience. When a child or teen who is grappling with illness engages in a Soaringwords’ activity to donate to another person, it redirects his or her thoughts away from the “self” and the sadness that surrounds their current situation and inspires them to soar.
