Cancer Charities

Cancer Charities that Directly Blessed Our Family

This list will be a long one and is in progress!


Beads of Courage

Childhood Leukemia Foundation: They gave us a gift basket of educational items.

Homemade pillow cases

Homemade quilts

Luca's Light: They do bedroom renovations and playground installations, and they are planning to install a playground for Thomas and his siblings.

Pinky Swear: They helped pay our bills and mortgage. I also noticed at the hospital where Thomas was inpatient for four and a half months that Pinky Swear kept the Family Kitchen stocked with snacks, which is helpful for parents who can't even leave their children's sides to go down to the cafeteria: hospital policy usually does not provide guest trays of food for parents.


Other Cancer Charities I Know Of


The E.V.A.N. Foundation: This program brings a rolling cart full of small toys and treats to the rooms of cancer patients. It launched at our home hospital, Levine's, a couple of months after we discharged and I know just how much this helps distract little patients.

Songs of Love: Parents fill out a form describing their child and song writers compose a fun, unique song honoring that child.

Camp Sunshine:
