FAMILY SPONSORSHIPS

Best Day Ever

Thanksgiving Meals

Thanksgiving Meals

For Gabby's 12th birthday, her last birthday, we celebrated with a Disney Princess Tea Party. At the end of the party, Gabby said it was the "Best. Day. Ever." We have created this service to support a Best Day Ever for a child in palliative or hospice care with their very own Best Day Ever. We launched this service in 2022 with our first child who had the opportuntity to have a party with their care team.

One year during Gabby's journey, a supporter brought us grocery for Thanksiving. It was a kind and helpful gesture that eliminated our need to go shopping and we could spend time caring for Gabby. We continue that tradition by providing families with either a gift card to a grocery store or restaurant for this service. November 2022, was our first year and we were able to provide five families with home cooked meals.  

Holidays @ Home

Final Expense Fund

Final Expense Fund

This was one of Gabby's favorite holidays as she enjoyed getting presents! Her first year of diagnosis she had to spend Christmas in the hospital; however, she received several gifts from individuals and organizations that made the stay more bearable. So, our first service was to provide Holiday wishlists to families who were not in the hospital or to families who recently lost a child to cancer. 

Final Expense Fund

Final Expense Fund

Final Expense Fund

 No parent expects to outlive their child. When that occurs due to childhood cancer, we assist families with a donation to help cover costs associated with the memorialization of their child.  

Monthly

AWARENESS CAMPAIGNs

To shed a greater light on the impact and effects of childhood cancer, we provide monthly awareness campaigns that share crucial information and stats with the community with the hopes of bringing awareness to those who might not otherwise be exposed to the impact of cancer on families within their community.
