Tree of Hope, an aviation-based charity, began at Nary, MN in 1990 by Ray and Celeste Shefland, a Nurse Anesthetist and RN, respectively and, an impressive flying family. The Sheflands noticed many children spending time in the hospital over the holidays. Some dealing with significant or terminal illnesses, some recovering from surgery or an accident. Many far from home and missing their families and friends, often, only one parent can stay with the child and "holiday gift" money is spent on lodging rather than presents. This is NOT the way for any child to spend their holidays!
