Comfort Food for Kids with Cancer

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Liam and I have been going through cancer treatment. I recently spent 4 months in the hospital which was really hard. I'm raising money for kids and parents who don't have the ability to buy outside food while inpatient on the cancer floor. I was lucky because my parents were able to get me food that I wanted to eat when I was actually hungry and what I wanted in the moment, but I could not imagine not eating what I was craving while I was going through chemo because I was really nauseous and my taste buds kept changing. I didn't like or want any food from the hospital. The hospital food was not good and I really appreciated getting what I asked for, like pasta bolognese from an Italian restaurant or a strawberry milk shake from the diner down the street. Sometimes I wanted Shake Shack and my parents would let me have a burger with French fries and cheese sauce which made me feel good. Because I was eating throughout the day, I did not lose too much weight and it made me happy to have the food I wanted to eat. It would be really nice to help kids on the cancer floor to have a better experience. Cancer is really hard when you are in the hospital and chemo makes you feel really sick. Thank you for donating and helping us raise money to pass out restaurant gift cards to families on the cancer floor at New York Presbyterian Hospital. Even a small donation will make a big difference for child and 100% of your donation will go to this important cause. Thank you.
