Stories

Stories from bright beds.

Families, nurses and child life teams tell us what a set of bright sheets meant on a hard day. Read their stories, or share yours.

Questions

Before you share.

Will my story go up right away?

No. Our team reads every story first, and we only share stories, photos and videos with your permission.

Can I share without a photo?

Yes. Many of our favorite stories are just a few sentences.

How do you protect my child's privacy?

First names or initials only, no last names, room numbers or medical details. We can blur faces, name badges and hospital wristbands in photos.

Can I take it down later?

Yes, anytime. Email [email protected] or use the link in the email we send when your story goes up.

I work at a hospital. Can I share a story?

Yes. Partner hospital staff can also share from the Stories tab in the partner portal. Please share only with the family's written consent.
