Routine is a well-worn path, regardless of career or vocation that we can pass through without much thought or re�ection. The road traveled by a Josh Cares Fellow is anything but routine, �lled with tiny joys and sorrows in the critical care units at Cincinnati Children’s. Here is a bird’s eye view of how Josh Cares Fellows muster the energy and compassion needed to tend to the care and well-being of their patients and families.

Senior Josh Cares Fellow and certi�ed Child Life Specialist Amy McGrory serves as team leader and mentor to the annual fellows, often just out of college and embarking on their careers. Amy frames her upcoming day with thoughts of which patients she will see, new patients who may have arrived overnight, and how each child has done during their overnight care. “My daily re�ections focus on how I can make a difference and be insightful with each child and family.”

Josh Cares Fellows begin their days before dawn, often with lengthy commutes, followed by ten-hour shifts. Michelle, one of the �ve Josh Cares Fellows, comments, “No two days are the same for a Child Life Fellow. Our work for the day begins by meeting medical staff, mostly nurses, who are able to provide us with great information on familial events while the JC

Fellows were absent.” Morning “check-ins” with patients, nurses and other staff, such as social workers, occupational, physical, music, and speech therapists allow Amy and the other Fellows to plan out their day for patient support and care. Says Amy, “I really enjoy seeing our patients in the morning, to ask if they had a good sleep, and talk about the day’s plans.”

There are also plenty of emotional “highs and lows” as patients, families and staff navigate medical procedures such as PICC line (intravenous) replacements, visits to Radiology for tests/scans/studies, and other patient tube replacements which can be very scary and uncomfortable. JC Fellow Mindy explains that “a huge part of our work is spending time with the patients and really getting to know personalities, along with likes and dislikes. It is SO rewarding to see patients learn to cope with procedures and have the families let us know that our work is appreciated!” Kana, another JC fellow, adds that “Soft voice talking and positive touch can help a patient calm himself down. Successful Child Life intervention not only helps the patient, it helps support the other medical team staff.” Amy adds, “Direct interaction with kids—providing play time and companionship—are clear high points. When kids are engaged in play, they can cope more effectively

and focus less on being sick. It is so gratifying when caregivers say how much they appreciate our time spent with their child and the phone calls, emails, photographs, etc. that let them remain connected.”

The “lows” of a day for a Josh Cares fellow are often heartbreaking and not soon forgotten. JC fellow Angela �nds that “Death is always dif�cult. We spend so much time with our long-term patients that it can be very hard to say goodbye.” Amy adds, “Death and bereavement are dif�cult and sad, but this is where our role shifts to the caregivers—supporting them through an extraordinarily dif�cult time. It is also sad and personally challenging when you see a patient’s condition changing/deteriorating or the situation changes

Dear Friends of Josh Cares,

In the words of Josh Cares supporter Don Korengel, “Life can change in an instant.” As you

will read on page 8, Ryan Korengel was playing with friends when a near fatal accident

changed his life forever. The Korengels were drawn to support of Josh Cares for many reasons,

painfully aware of the similarities between Ryan’s accident and that of Josh Helfrich. Josh, the

namesake for Josh Cares, was also playing with friends when tragedy found him. He lost his

life in 2004, at age 10, after being struck by a car while on a bike ride in his neighborhood.

Thankful that they had always been able to be there for Josh, the Helfrich family, along with

the leadership and generosity of Dan and Lynn Pierce, co-founded Josh Cares.

Tragically, life has changed again—in an instant. Dan and Lynn Pierce recently lost their

eighteen year old son Ian after a jet skiing accident while on spring break. The world has lost a

special light and will be less without Ian. Re�ected his father Dan, “I think the most incredible

thing about Ian was how kind he was to other people and how he went out of his way to

make people feel included.” On behalf of everyone at Josh Cares, I would like to express our

profound appreciation for the outpouring of sympathy, kindness and support of the Pierce

family at this most dif�cult time.

More than ever, we are committed to ful�lling the vision of the Pierce and Helfrich families

to ensure that no seriously ill child suffers through a lengthy hospitalization feeling alone.

Life changes in an instant for the many families cared for at Cincinnati Children’s and not all

of them are able to put the rest of their lives on hold to be by their children’s sides. But these

families and children can count on Josh Cares, with your

support, to provide comfort and compassion during these

painful times of separation. Life is a treasure and every child

should have the opportunity to know they are cherished

especially in the hardest days.

Sincerely,

Joy Rowe Blang

Carlie is a 10 year old girl who recently underwent a kidney and second heart transplant. She spent several months prior to the transplant at Cincinnati Children’s awaiting a suitable donor. Despite her serious health condition, Carlie was very energetic and loved playing board games and arts and crafts. Carlie’s family resides in another state and was unable to be at her side during this time. She was also missing her friends and classmates at school. Knowing how important keeping home connections are, the Josh Cares Fellows were able to set up a Skype session between Carlie and her classmates. Carlie wanted to make sure that her peers still thought of her as part of the class, so her fellows helped her create a life sized poster of herself to hang in the classroom during her absence. As her transplant drew near, her fellows helped her prepare emotionally by helping her think up questions she had for her doctors. To help her remain as calm as possible up until the very moment she was put under anesthesia, Michelle gave her a special “heart stone,” the only item she was able to take into surgery with her. After the very lengthy surgery, Carlie awoke, still clutching her heart stone while her

brand new healthy heart began beating strongly. Immediately following her surgery, the fellows served as a support system for her grandparents who were able to make the trip to be with her during her surgery and recovery. Initially, walking was extremely painful for Carlie so the fellows motivated her by arranging sessions in the private playroom. Carlie has since discharged from the hospital and will remain with her grandparents at the Ronald McDonald House for several months before she can safely return to her home. She is looking forward to replacing the cutout �gure by reclaiming her assigned seat in her classroom!

Museum Center Honors Josh Cares with Difference Maker Award

Making a D i f f e renc e

Josh Cares was selected this past fall as the recipient of The Cincinnati Museum Center’s Difference Maker Award. Along with Josh Cares, four individual adult volunteers, along with one youth, were recognized for their accomplishments and service to our community. Josh Cares was nominated for the award by Shawn Gilreath, who had read about Josh Cares in the news and sought out our website to learn more about our mission. During the hospitalization of his son in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Cincinnati Children’s several years ago, Shawn was troubled upon noticing many children without parents by their sides. Commented Shawn, “I was inspired to nominate Josh Cares for the Difference Maker Award because I’ve seen �rst-hand the need for the love they provide. It broke my heart to see those children alone in

such a time of need. The very least I could do was try to put a spotlight on their efforts. I was very excited to hear they won this prestigious award, but it’s so well deserved.” Shawn was so moved, in fact, that he has become an active member of the Josh Cares Communications Committee.

Active volunteer support is the backbone of any non-pro�t organization, and Josh Cares is privileged to share the story of two long-time supporters who have given much in the way of time, talent and treasure since the Josh Cares Organization was founded in 2005.

Laura and Gary Bohn have been avid Josh Cares volunteers since Day One and through their fun and outgoing natures and generosity have brought many other friends and business associates into the volunteer fold. One great example of the Bohns’ enthusiasm and contagious spirit is the party bus they charter each year for safe and fun travels to “Fire and Ice,” the Josh Cares signature event held annually in late April. Laura and Gary Bohn can be found at every Josh Cares event and are quick to introduce a new acquaintance to their friends and fellow associates. Laura Bohn currently serves as a board member of Josh Cares and is actively involved in expanding corporate support of the organization.

Laura attributes her volunteer “call to action” and inspiration to Ann Helfrich, the mother of Josh Helfrich, after whom the Josh Cares Organization is named. Laura explained her connection in this way.

“I was in the of�ce the afternoon that Ann received the call that Josh had had a bicycle accident. Ann and other staff of SEI had been working for me and other Ethicon Endo IT folks, and we all knew things were not good. Ann’s friends took her to the hospital, and the next day, I learned that they had to let Josh go. My heart broke hearing the news. As the months moved past Josh’s passing and the Josh Cares idea emerged and then was put into action, it was Ann who continued to inspire, rather than asking others to support her…such strength and complete unsel�shness. It was through that �rst year or two after Josh’s accident and as the Josh Cares

Organization emerged that I shared my own story of why this event so touched me. In 1974, my younger brother, who was away at school, succumbed to pneumonia and passed away in the hospital, alone and without family…just as the Helfrich family saw children suffering alone at Cincinnati Children’s during Josh’s brief stay there. My commitment to the mission of Josh Cares has been inspired by my own loss and the incredible compassion of my good friend Ann.”

Laura continues, “As time passed, it became clear that Josh Cares was one group where we wanted to focus our efforts. So, Gary and I talked to Dan and Lynn Pierce to see how we could help. Our plan was to use our social network through Heritage Club to help drive support for Josh Cares. One way was to sponsor a pre-“Fire & Ice,” “get to know Josh Cares” cocktail hour at Heritage Club to build enthusiasm. In the �rst years, we began with a nucleus of 6-7 new couples that has since grown to 15-18 couples who regularly attend or provide support to this event. We’ve grown from a “van” to the “shuttle bus”…and I hope to soon need a true “motor coach” for all of our new Josh Cares supporters!

Those who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting this fun-loving and hardworking lady can �nd Laura and husband Gary on the bus for Fire & Ice, on the fairway at the annual Josh Cares golf outing this fall, and our late fall fundraiser with Youks’ Kids.

Thank you, Laura!

MEET THE JOSH CARES VOLUNTEER

You Can Volunteer, Too!Young Professionals Council The Bacchanalian Society refers to the young professional generation as the “creative class.” Others refer to them as the Millennial Generation or the Net Generation. Whatever you call ‘em, we want ‘em because of their tremendous energy, passion and ability to quickly orchestrate valuable connections. A YP Council is currently being formed to engage young professionals in service to Josh Cares in areas they are most skilled and interested. The �rst order of business for the YP Council is to coordinate the Bacchanalian Society event. Individuals interested in joining the council, as well as volunteering at the event (must be over-21 and enjoy great people watching!), should contact Todd Gailar at (513) 258-3876 or Todd.Gailar@CommerceBank.com

Bacchanalian Society to Benefit Josh Cares

Thursday, May 17th

In one of the more novel networking efforts of Cincinnati’s young professionals, the Bacchanalian Society was created with the purpose of promoting socialization and philanthropy with an “unabashed zest for life.” Named for Bacchus, Roman deity of wine and merriment, the society holds quarterly wine tastings, packing in up to 1,000 attendees at each event. The society selects both a different varietal and local charity each time as the bene�ciary, which also assists in its planning and implementation. As this is most certainly NOT your typical wine tasting, it is recommended that you check out their website to review the “Rule of 3” and other pertinent information. Pre-registration is highly recommended for anyone over the age of 21.

Josh Cares would like to sincerely thank outgoing board member, and former President,

Ray Attiyah for his dedication to promoting Josh Cares over the last several years.

Additionally, we would like to welcome Pete McConney and Chris Shepard to the board.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recently released a policy statement* identifying “toxic stress” as the excessive or prolonged exposure to extreme adversity without the consistent support of a stable caregiver. Without adequate emotional support and stability, such traumatic experiences as a prolonged hospitalization for a life threatening condition can lead to lifelong impairments in learning, behavior and both physical and mental health. Evidence shows a clear link between childhood toxic stress and the development of unhealthy lifestyles later in life such as substance abuse, school failure, �nancial hardship and criminality as well as physical conditions including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. According to the AAP, “it is not adversity alone that predicts poor outcomes. It is the absence of protective relationships that reinforce healthy adaptations to stress, which, in the presence of signi�cant adversity, leads to disruptive physiologic responses that produce ‘biological memories’ that increase the risk of health-threatening behaviors and frank disease later in life.”

The study concluded the best treatment to prevent these long term consequences is the formation “of local traumatic stress networks to treat children and families experiencing signi�cant adversity” and the collaboration of “social workers, mental health providers, and other related professionals (i.e. Child Life Specialists) to address urgent needs as early as possible and to integrate effective services for the most vulnerable children and their families.” This “buffering protection afforded by stable, responsive relationships

helps children develop a sense of safety, thereby facilitating the restoration of their stress response systems to baseline.” For the children served by Josh Cares, Child Life Fellows are the “buffers” who provide the stable support that not only helps them cope with their immediate trauma, but impacts the “behavioral, educational, economic, and health outcomes decades and generations later.”

In only the second year for this student and family oriented event, the Chain of Love raised over $13,000 to fund 4 months of a Child Life Fellow’s time spent one-on-one with children in need! 13 schools participated by hosting their own fundraising events in very unique ways. For each dollar raised, a link of a paper holiday chain was purchased. All of the links, from all of the schools, were connected together into one massive display at Kenwood’s Sycamore Plaza for the entire month of December, providing invaluable exposure for Josh Cares. The success of the event was celebrated with a holiday open house on December 17th. All participating schools attended, many of whom participated in the live musical performances which were coordinated by Mount Notre Dame HS students Shelby Shepard, Annemarie Koch and

Anna Kovacs as part of their Senior Capstone Project. Members of the Josh Cares Student Advisory Council

supported the event by leading projects

in their own schools, recruiting new participants,

and organizing the open house celebration. Schools are already

signing up to participate in the upcoming school year. Special thanks to Regency Centers, Direct Options, Premier Mail and Ful�llment, Joe and Carla Stein, Children, Inc., the Mayerson High School Service Learning Program, Orange Leaf and the many schools that participated!

If you know of a school or youth group that would like to learn more about organizing a project to take place in late summer/fall, please ask them to contact Joy Blang at 513-260-2068 for more details.

JOSH CARES EVENTS

Third Party Events Around Town

Please visit the Cincinnati page of our website to view pictures from these, and other, events.

While Josh Cares hosts four annual events geared for a variety of interests and demographics, several other groups around town have also orchestrated their own events to help raise awareness of the need for, and funds to support, the Josh Cares Child Life Fellow Program at Cincinnati Children’s.

Last fall, the Heritage Club hosted “UGNO,” or “Ultimate Girls Night Out,” with proceeds and raf�e ticket sales to support several organizations, including Josh Cares. The generosity of these women, in the spirit of girl bonding, will ensure that a child will bene�t from 60 hours of one-on-one time with a trusted Josh Cares Fellow as a result of a $1,250 donation!

Professional and social networking groups are often seeking to feature a non-pro�t at their gatherings. As a result, new doors are often opened for Josh Cares when introduced to new potential volunteers and supporters at such events. At a GETDOT gathering in West Chester, the COO of Direct

Options was touched upon learning about the mission of Josh Cares. Since then, Direct Options has committed to invaluable ongoing creative design, branding services, and their expertise in managing data smarter. Ad2 Cincinnati, a young professional advertising and marketing organization, featured Josh Cares at their “Ugly Christmas Sweater” party in downtown Cincinnati. Ad2 is supporting Josh Cares by developing a social media plan, speci�cally launching a new Facebook page. Schools and Youth Groups are also frequently looking for bene�ciaries of their events. Northe Point Elementary showed

their capacity for love in many ways this Valentine’s Day by purchasing candy grams for their fellow students and teachers, raising $1,300!

If you are part of a group that is interested in promoting a non-pro�t organization within our community, please consider Josh Cares. Josh Cares will gladly provide a speaker, a brief video, and/or print materials to support you.

with a longer hospitalization or a change in family structure.”

The emotional stamina demanded of a Josh Cares Fellow is extreme, but the “high point” rewards are just as sweet. JC Fellow Michelle vividly recalls a patient’s death. “In the midst of sadness and anguish…there was a sense of gratitude

and humbleness that I will never forget. It was a heartbreaking time, but the family’s gratitude for our support was a true high point.” Echoes JC Fellow Mindy, “The most inspiring part of being a Josh Cares Child Life Specialist is to see the smiles and hear the laughter of a patient who is really enjoying their play time. It is also very rewarding to know that staff and families recognize the impact Josh Cares makes or had made with a patient.”

Amy concludes, “Wrapping up a work day can be dif�cult, because it always feels like there is so much more to do. Yet, what is most inspiring…is seeing the strength and resiliency of the patients and families. It is inspiring to meet children who, despite their medical challenges, still just want to play and be children. I am also inspired by the families—seeing what they must go through. It is such a privilege to help support these patients and families who need it the most.”

SWING FOR JOSH CARES

On September 14th, 2008, 12 year old Ryan Korengel was gol�ng with his buddies on a Sunday afternoon when everything changed. The aftermath of Hurricane Ike blew winds of up to 70 mph through the Tri-State. With no warning, a large tree limbed snapped, crashing down on Ryan as he stood on the fringe of the 8th green, crushing his skull. To have survived such a traumatic injury is a miracle in and of itself. But Ryan’s miracle was just beginning. Legally blind and paralyzed on the left side of his body, today Ryan is a member of the Madeira High School golf team with a goal of playing collegiate golf one day. As a patient at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Ryan’s family observed the work of the Josh Cares Fellows, tending to children in the absence of parental support. Commented Don Korengel, “Our family was blessed with the ability to be with our son 24 hours a day - so many other families don’t have that option due to family and work demands.”

In honor of the fourth anniversary of Ryan’s accident, please save the date to attend the 2nd Annual Ryan Korengel Golf Outing on Thursday, September 20th at Terrace Park Country Club. Stay tuned for more information—this event sold out 6 weeks in advance last year!
