Sponsor: The Foundation

The Story:  A pediatric oncology ward can be a lonely, overwhelming place for a child. Beeping machines, unfamiliar faces and long hours of waiting often replace the comforts of home. The Foundation creates Courage Kits to change that experience—packages designed to bring calm, familiarity and play to a hospital bedside. Each kit includes a weighted blanket to ease anxiety and age-appropriate art supplies to encourage expression and distraction.

The Impact:  Your donation delivers ten Courage Kits directly to children receiving cancer care. In moments filled with fear and uncertainty, these kits provide comfort, restore a sense of control and remind young patients they are seen, supported and not alone. Often times healing starts with feeling safe—and having something to smile about.
