Esther's Friends

The Esther Viola Frey Memorial Foundation.
501(c)3 public charity. Helping children, and families of children, facing long-term hospitalizations.

There is something powerful about placing a book directly into a young child's hands - especially when that child is in the hospital. Sharing something that brought Esther such joy and seeing these books reach the hands of children who need them most - that's what it's all about.

[Esther's Friends @EsthersFriends]

Turn pages into hope! From April 20-24th, you can help us bring comfort, joy, and the power of stories to children facing long-term hospitalizations. Thank you for putting stories into hands - and hope into hearts! #booksbringhope #scholasticbookfair #esthersfriends

Dressed as a hot dog, Eva was able to spread #halloween fun to hospitalized children at Advocate Children's Hospital. She was able to get everyone smiling and doing puzzles. Eva truly follows in Esther's steps and spreads joy wherever she goes! #therapydog #nonprofit

Your generosity continues into 2024 and as a result, Esther's Friends was able to donate 671 books to Rush Children's Hospital. Each book represents a pediatric inpatient who has been able to find comfort or escape during their hospitalization due to our community. Thank you!

[Esther's Friends @EsthersFriends]

100% of your donation directly supports Esther's pediatric inpatient friends facing long-term hospitalizations. After hearing personal stories from patients and families about what you have enabled us to accomplish, we are even more motivated to keep helping overlooked kids.
