Jan Wheeler, outstanding educator, inspirational speaker, and advocate for pediatric hospice programs, personally understands the value of quality hospice care for children. Jan cared for her teenage daughter, Valerie Grace, at home, with the help of a pediatric hospice program in the Houston area.

Valerie, her parents, and pediatric hospice professionals worked together to combat pain management problems, increase mobility, and help Valerie achieve her goals to live as normal and active a teenage life as possible.

Living with the reality of dying is difficult for anyone, but the challenge is tremendous for a child. Jan's message to communities is simple and specific. She urges the public to develop special programs for children with life-limiting illnesses and for the bereaved family members and friends who are left behind.

Jan invites concerned individuals, service organizations, and businesses to join the efforts of Project Joy and Hope for Texas through the gifts of time, talent, and resources.

"In HOPE we are never disappointed."
