What we do

The Heather on Earth Music Foundation provides a unique program with a wide range of music modalities to all pediatric patients and their families who struggle with hospitalization and illness. Music embraces a full spectrum of joy that the spirit craves. It is there to inspire, center, relax, distract and calm.  It is known to boost the immune system, decrease pain, alleviate anxiety, and implement patient interaction and cooperation.

When children who are sick and suffering can enjoy a little music, just one moment could grow into an eternity of happiness.  An uplifting happy song can bring light and joy to a place of darkness and fright.  And giving this joy to the hearts of children and their families in places where they heal is the very reason the foundation exists. It is a necessity to have these programs at children’s hospitals, because hand in hand with science and technology, it nourishes the entire human spirit.

Our mission is to fund as many full/part time music therapists in these special facilities for children in need. Think for a moment, what music does for you in your life; now imagine what it does for a sick child. Music moves the human spirit in more ways, then you could possibly imagine. We would love for you to join our journey and help us to keep the music playing.
