Announcing the "HOPES & DREAMS" Program for Underprivileged Children

Never have children been as unhealthy as they are today. The problem defies
socioeconomic boundaries afflicting young people - of all ages.


It’s prevalent in cities and rural areas transcending cultural, religious, and ethnic boundaries. Childhood obesity is sweeping through our nation like a plague. 


Overweight children are at high-risk for a plethora of illnesses, such as: 
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • High Cholesterol
  • Diabetes
  • Depression
  • Arthritis
  • Joint problems
Apathy and lack of understanding are the culprit. How can we adults look the other
way when the health and well-being of our children is in danger?


I’ve seen enough. And I'm compelled to take action.

But what we’re taking on WON’T be easy. 25 percent of children in the U.S. are over-weight.  And 80 percent of those will become over-weight adults. 


I'm pleased to announce that the children's program has recently gotten the attention of the Los Angeles Unified School District. And increasingly, more kids, parents, teachers, and lawmakers are beginning to take notice.

THE GOAL:  Make healthy food and regular exercise a priority for our children—not just an after-thought!


If you believe you can contribute please contact us: 323.937.6905, or email bhdoc@live.com. The rewards for all of these young people is life-changing; the rewards you’ll experience are indelible.
