As with every good cause, Henry’s Hope starts with an inspiring story. This story is about a courageous, compassionate, and loving child – Henry.  At 9 months of age, Henry was diagnosed as failure to thrive.  The following two years proved challenging – several of his body’s systems began to fail.  He was unable to eat food, and a feeding tube was placed in his stomach.  After his first birthday, he only “ate” a special formula through his feeding tube.  He was unable to walk or crawl until he was 26 months old; so he attended physical therapy weekly for two years and had leg braces made to support him in standing.  His eye became paralyzed and he was farsighted; so, he began to wear glasses.  His respiratory system gave him trouble – he developed pneumonia several times, bronchitis, and was diagnosed with asthma – so, he got a machine for breathing treatments at home.   And, he developed dozens of infections.   Read More About Henry

Hello From Henry!

We hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as Henry has enjoyed his black beans!  We wanted to let you know that in honor of Henry's love for black beans, we have set up a fundraiser at Chipotle (8602 N. Westfield Boulevard, Indianapolis, IN 46260) on December 10, from 5-8 PM. Henry's Hope will earn 50% of whatever you spend when you bring in our fundraiser flyer [Download Flyer Here], and all proceeds will go to payment for Bailey's RSV shots, which began this month.  This was the first in a series of four, with the cost to Bailey's parents being $450 per shot.  Henry's Hope has pledged to cover the first shot fully, but will need your support to completely cover the remaining three.

Please consider offering your support through a donation of time or money, or by visiting Chipotle on December 10.  We look forward to seeing you there!

If you would also like to donate, you can do so on our Donate Now page, and dedicate your gift to Bailey.
