Meet Sara, Philip and Allison. These are just a few of the many kids we have given costumes to through our new program-
Dress Up Deliveries.
Sara is battling a Wilms Tumor- Stage IV FH. She is just four years old, but has already lived through more than most of us will ever see. Her family is big into putting on productions at home, so Sara was born with a flair for the dramatic. Her favorite color is blue and she likes all kinds of hero stories, so we thought she needed to dress up like the hero that she is. Her mother told us, "Thank you for your help in making Sara continue to smile throughout her treatment". You're welcome Sara- keep fighting with that hero smile!
Philip is one of
many happy children. He is a tough little guy who has always loved escaping the realities of medicine through dress up. A boy with this much tenacity needed to have something that could show his inner strength. What is tougher than a true cowboy? Philip loved his new gear so much, he wore it three days straight- and yes, that included night time too. Philip, stay strong through your two and half year treatment to keep the Leukemia away.
Allison is a 4 year old princess whose favorite color is pink and loves all things girly. She has some good days and some bad in her quest to overcome the evil Leukemia that is threatening her royalty, but our "box of goodies really brightened her day" according to her mother, the queen. She liked her new dress so much, she had to pack it up to take to her uncle's house in a nearby kingdom to show him how beautiful she looks in it. Keep living your fairy tale, Allison and you WILL live happily ever after.
So far, we have reached out to children in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusettes, New Jersey, New York, Tennesee and Texas. Please help us continue to bring happiness to children who need it most. If you know a child who is suffering from a serious illness, please send them to our website and tell them about our Dress Up Deliveries program. Tell your medical professional friends about us and how we can serve their patients.
Most importantly, consider
donating to our foundation so we can continue to put smiles on children's faces in the midst of pain and sickness. We accept monetary gifts as well as NEW costumes and accessories for children sizes 2-10.
