This group plan aims to decorate hospital rooms for children with cancer to make them feel more at home. The group wants to help the kids feel comfortable and raise cancer awareness. They need donations of items like curtains, photos, and toys to personalize a room for a sponsored child. However, hospitals have limited budgets focused on medical equipment, not decor. The group's action plan is to find sponsors, choose a child, shop for their interests, and surprise them with a new room by October. All group members will contribute to the seven steps of finishing the plan, finding sponsors, decorating a room, and promoting cancer education.

1. Group Plan
By: Alyssa Schindler, Morgan
Meyer, and Mikayla Honeycutt.

2. Problem Statement
Hospital rooms are dull, especially for kids
with cancer, they are limited on things to do
and see, so our idea was to decorate their
room, to make it look and feel like they are
at home.

3. Specific Goal
We want to be able to help the kids with
cancer feel at home, and to raise awareness
of all the different types of cancer.

4. Required Data
We need anything the child wants
examples: Curtains, Photos, Picture
Frames, Rugs Toys, Blankets, Pillow
Covers, Etc.

5. Root Causes-Barriers:
● Not enough attention and the money are
the root causes.
● Hospitals already have a big budget with
all the actual medical equipment they
have not nearly enough money and time
to decorate and buy things for a specific
child.
● There are far more “important” issues
like car accidents, cancer, and things that
need more attention.

7. Actions already in place...
We haven’t gotten anything yet other than
figuring out what we want to do and how we
want to do it.

8. Action Plan(steps):
❏ step 1: Finish action plan
❏ step 2: Find sponsors ex: Livestrong, Target,
Walmart, etc;
❏ step 3: Sponsor a child
❏ step 4: Find what the child likes
❏ step 5: Buy what the child likes
❏ step 6: Surprise the child by their new room
❏ step 7: Raise awareness and warning signs of every
single cancer

9. Who is responsible for each step?
Since there is only seven steps i think we
should all contribute to all of it.

10. Checkpoint dates
Hopefully by the end of October we will
hope to be sponsoring a child and figuring
out what they want.
