Patient Comfort Advocates
Cheryl Myers and Sue Pinkham
Cheryl and Sue are Moms of children living with chronic pain disorders. They personally know the stress this can cause on the child and the family alike. They like to help by bringing a smile to those in these situations with our “Send a Smile” program. Cheryl and Sue are fabulous at making sure that kids that are hospitalized, having a difficult time, going through medical procedures, etc. get a gift to know they are not alone in their struggle. Please email us at info@tcapp.org to order a smile for your child. Please send TCAPP your child’s name, their diagnosis, their age, favorite color and a few of their favorite things – stuffed animals, crafts, legos, etc.
