  We are off and running!! We have been able to help families by assisting with lodging, flights, travel expenses such as gas, meals, and specialty items such as collapsible wagons which help families in a variety of ways when they come for hospital appointments.

And this past week, my heart was heavy when we helped a family bury their 4 year old little boy named Isaac who was fighting ALL, We were able to help alleviate some of the financial burdens this sweet family was facing. Do you know how much it costs to bury a child? $4,000. We have all seen the prices at the gas pumps, grocery stores, and perhaps airline tickets. These realities are especially hard for these families facing childhood cancer. And so here we are, trying to fill in any cracks and gaps as we are able. In any way we are able. And we are able because of YOU! Because of your generous gifts and donations helping us be

 We are excited to say we have begun working and helping families! We are able to start helping to ease the burden for some pediatric oncology families we have been connected with through social services and family support organizations. A few things we have been able to help with include travel expenses for families traveling for treatment, meal assistance, and some specilaty care items such as this collapsible wagon. I wanted to share this story with you all below, along with an updated picture of our family this Easter❤️🌈Thank you village! Thank you for coming along with us even further on this journey Sharing a full circle moment with you all. Some may remember Charlotte’s red wagon days. She was so sick. Just started chemotherapy. She shut down and wouldn’t walk and would hardly eat or speak. But a ride in the wagon seemed to not only bring her back, but help me feel like a stroll down those hospital halls might one day lead us to a stroll home with a happy and healthy Charlotte
