H.A.L.O.’s gifts to pediatric nursing homes are focused in New England, but H.A.L.O. will consider requests from individual families across the United States. Initially, H.A.L.O. bestowed teddy bears and hair bows, snuggly bathrobes and boom boxes to individuals on birthdays and other special occasions. Today, the Foundation underwrites purchases of some assistive devices and/or equipment for children who are cared for at home.
