Bubbles for Children

Did you know that doctors and nurses use soap bubbles as part of medical treatment for children?


Some children must stay at the hospital for a long period of time suffering terminal illnesses and receiving treatment multiple times a day. Treatments such as chemotherapy, involve pain which can be more difficult for young children to handle. In circumstances such as these, it is at the hospital’s best interest that the children are comfortable and feel safe. When the young patients blow bubbles, they are able to breathe properly, calm down, and distract themselves from the pain. When I was told this information, I immediately wanted to further the hospital's ability to do this with the children. For this reason, I have decided to organize a charity where I will be collecting monetary donations to go towards the purchase of bubbles for UC Davis Children’s Hospital.
