Children in children’s hospitals, orphanages and youth organizations across the country and around the
world are given the opportunity to write and illustrate stories about ANYTHING they want. Those stories
are then uploaded to our website through the collaboration of the partnering organization and The Sing
Me A Story Foundation. Participating songwriters view the stories, turn them into songs, record them and
send them back to the children by uploading them back to the site. By doing so, not only is it on the site,
but the partnering organization gets an e-mail with the song attached as an MP3.
