Teen Pen Pals

   
The teen years are difficult enough without having to cope with having a life-long illness. Teenagers are so adept these days with email that we decided to try to put together a pen pal program for teens. This way, they can connect with other teenagers experiencing some of the same issues. You or your teen can sign up by emailing me at Kelly@caresfoundation.org. Tell me how old your teen is, whether they want to be contacted by email or telephone, whether they want a male or female pen pal. We must also have the parents’ permission and must be able to speak to the parents over the phone to obtain this permission. No private information will be released until all parties agree to the arrangement.

We hope that this will help our kids to weather some of the bumps of adolescence knowing that they are not alone.
