Your gift today will help families navigate childhood cancer
“Mira gets to go to the hospital, and she gets all these cool things that I don’t.” — Titus.
By cool things, Titus meant his sister’s ambulance ride and radiation mask.
At age six, Titus didn’t understand that his big sister Mira was fighting for her life, enduring invasive medical procedures, MRIs, emergency brain surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. All he knows is that Mira and Mom are spending way too much time at the hospital, and he’s not invited.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer it affects the whole family. Siblings of children with cancer experience their own journey of cancer. They experience feelings of loneliness, confusion, and even anger and resentment, for being left out. Our new PLUS (Practical Learning for Undiagnosed Siblings) program was designed with siblings like Titus in mind. Working with our child life specialist, kids like Titus explore their feelings and learn healthy coping strategies to better navigate their family's cancer experience and beyond.
Keeping the whole family strong and healthy during a child's cancer journey is vital. That's why our year-round programs are designed for the whole family. Your donations help keep the family unit healthy and resilient. Thank YOU!
