The Healing Hunter Foundation (HHF) is a local, not for profit, family that uplifts children while they battle for life. Formed when the world lost a little boy named Hunter, the focus of the HHF has been to directly better the lives of little cancer warriors and their families. And we are sweetly and most definitely enhancing the lives of children touched by cancer.

A note from one of the nurses at Randall Children's Hospital:
Lenore...it is truly a pleasure to be the recipient of your kindness. The joy on the children's faces on Easter morning, when they saw their new toys, is really indescribable. You are providing so much more than just toys. You are providing joy and excitement. You are providing a distraction from the daily routines of life in the hospital. You are providing a moment of respite to tired parents. And most of all, you are letting these little ones know that they are important and they are not forgotten. You are honoring your son in a most noble and inspiring way. Keep up the amazing work, mama!! Know that it is appreciated by soooooo many!!!
Lyndsee Kellstrom Wunn
"Easter Bunny Lenore! You rock! Although I couldn't be there on Sunday to experience the joy of the patients and siblings receiving their easter surprise, I certainly heard about it on Monday! I so appreciate the thoughtfulness and time you take to make each sack personally appealing to the child's age and interests. What a special treat for the nurses too.....to take a moment from doing all the medical aspects of their care, to being an Easter Bunny Elf! So heart healing for the as well. You are something special!" Susan Sherwood, Child Life - Doernbecher Children's Hospital
Hundreds of toys landed at Randall Children's Hospital!
Happy Easter lil' loves! Lots of bunnies all around town are thinking of you!!!!
