❊ Our Mission
Our mission is to walk beside children with cancer and their families, amplifying their voices and strengthening their journey through awareness, advocacy, and action. By forging partnerships with fellow childhood cancer advocates, we work to expand access to essential resources and supports at every stage of care. At the heart of our work, we embrace the healing power of creativity—using arts and crafts to nurture resilience, foster connection, and bring comfort to children as they navigate treatment.
❊ Our Vision
A world where every child with cancer and their family is supported with compassion, empowered through community and resources, and uplifted by creativity and hope throughout their journey.
