About the Author
In 1985, Karen created the Adventures in Caring Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating the emotional distress and loneliness that often accompany a serious illness or injury. Awarded a Point of Light by President George Bush in 1991, Adventures in Caring is best known for the Raggedy Ann & Andy visiting Program, which lifts the spirits of patients and their families in 32 hospitals and nursing homes in California and other states, every week, all year round.
Dressing up as the characters Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy from the childhood storybooks and visiting those who are confined to bed or a wheelchair, volunteers provide a safe, non-threatening space for patients to feel accepted and talk about their experience. The Raggedys mostly listen, offering people who are alone and afraid the healing confirmation that someone cares. Karen chose the characters of Raggedy Ann and Andy because they are symbols of kindness and unconditional lovethe very thing that we all reach for in a time of crisis.
Theres a fine art to bringing hope, easing tension, and giving encouragement to people who are suffering and feeling alone. Its not so much the words you say as the love you put behind those words. Karen found this out when she first began to visit the sick and discovered the healing power of love, which today is the core of the Adventures in Caring training programs and services.
