The holidays are a time for family, comfort, and joy, but for pediatric cancer families spending the season in the hospital, it can be an unimaginably difficult experience. Many parents are unable to work while they are full-time caregivers for their children going through cancer treatment, and they often rely on the support of others just to remain by their child’s side during treatment. The emotional and financial strain is overwhelming, especially this time of year.

This fundraiser is dedicated to supporting these local families during the holidays. With these donations, we will provide gift cards for DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart grocery delivery, Starbucks (right in the hospital lobby), Amazon, and Visa, so families can enjoy a meal, a cup of coffee, or purchase essentials without worry. Some of the funds will also go toward holiday crafts and toys, bringing a little bit of joy and normalcy to children who deserve to smile, even in the toughest times.

I know times are difficult for many right now, so please know that any amount at all, or simply sharing the link with loved ones, will go a long way to put a smile on the face of cancer families this holiday season. Your generosity will help ease their burden and remind them that they are not alone. Thank you for making a difference!
