Proceeds from this event will benefit LWB's Healing Homes. LWB's Healing Homes Program helps orphaned children with serious medical issues needing specialized care. These children are extremely vulnerable, due to being born with medical needs that often cannot be met in an institutional setting. LWB's healing homes are staffed with specially trained nannies who devote their time to the careful nurturing of these children.

Healing Homes help children like Tyson have a second chance at life. When Tyson came to LWB last April, his life was hanging in the balance. Born with an anorectal malformation, it was critical he receive surgery immediately, but he had to be taken to a hospital with great experience with this need, pushing his health to the limits. By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was in a comatose state and his body was shutting down from sepsis. Luckily, his emergency surgery was successful, and he was soon on the road to recovery. After surgery, he was sent to LWB's Heartbridge Healing Home, where he received the love and care he needed to thrive. He will soon be having a second surgery, and we are grateful he will have a loving nanny by his side.
