ShandsSpace logoAs a teen who spends time in a hospital, it's easy to feel isolated and distant from your "normal" life. Some teens and young adults feel as if their disease becomes their identity, that they are losing a part of their personality.

[ Read about the ShandsSpace Legacy ]

That's why we offer ShandsSpace. ShandsSpace is a interview-guided, poster-sized piece of art that you create with information about yourself -- favorite movies, TV shows and music, your hobbies, favorite quotes and goals. You design and decorate your ShandsSpace and we'll hang it in your room so that everyone that steps in the room can find out who you really are.

Check out some ShandsSpace samples:

Chantelle - ShandsSpace Sample Show off your favorite shows, movies and music!
James - ShandsSpace sample Design your own space with what is important to you!
Jennifer - ShandsSpace sample Let your ShandsSpace tell a story about you -- your favorite quotes, photos and colors!
