Dr. Michael Everest and The Everest Foundation partnered with Los Angeles-based, Loving Hands Children Home to host a Halloween event for orphans with disabilities.
Loving Hands Children’s Home was founded by Janiese Finney, RN, who grew weary of watching the lack of care and repeat visits to the hospital that foster children in Los Angels, California, faced.
Janiese noticed that children were in the hospital for an extended period of time, waiting to be placed in a home that would help support their unique physical, social, and mental health needs. After placement, these children were often returned to the hospital needing repeat care.
The lack of continuous care prohibited the children’s progress, and the instability hindered their ability to thrive in the transition to stable environments. Loving Hands Children’s Home was launched in response to this ongoing problem in LA.
According to their website, Loving Hands Children’s Home focuses “on promoting dignity and the highest esteem in their clients while providing safe and compassionate care.”
The Everest Foundation, a LA non-profit, took to the cause of the Loving Hands Children’s Home and planned a Halloween event for the orphans to attend.
The event gave children a safe place to celebrate Halloween and enjoy treats and various activities. The event's main activity was a visit from a Mad Scientist who performed scientific experiments to entertain the children.

In conjunction with the event, The Everest Foundation donated $30,000 to the Loving Hands Children’s Home to help them with their cause and provide more support for the foster care foundation.
However, the Halloween event and monetary donation is not the only thing that The Everest Foundation and Dr. Michael Everest have done to help this charity.
At the Loving Hands Children’s Home, Dr. Michael Everest, his wife Agata Everest, and their team at the foundation are funding an animal sanctuary to stay in the home’s backyard.
Animal interaction can be very therapeutic for children. The animal sanctuary will provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the children to interact with the animals in an outdoor therapeutic setting.
