Need Support? We’re Here to Help.
You Are Not Alone
If your child has been diagnosed with AML, we know how overwhelming this can feel. We’ve been where you are – scared, exhausted, and searching for answers. Our mission is to support you through this incredibly difficult journey. See below for all the different ways we can help you
Emotional Support (Coming Soon!)
Connect with other parents who have walked this path.
We can connect you with compassionate parents who have experienced similar losses or challgnes. These parents volunteer to listen, share their stories, and simply be there – not to fix anything, but to walk alongside you.
✦︎ One-on-one peer matches
✦︎ Virtual or phone check-ins
✦︎ Optional group support chats or meetings
Not Therapy – Just Connection. This is not professional counseling, but many find that speaking with someone who “gets it” can be just as healing. If you do need professional mental health support, we can also refer you to trusted local or virtual resources.
Care Packages: Comfort During the Journey
When a child is undergoing treatment, even small comforts can make a big difference. Our care packages are thoughtfully curated to bring a bit of relief, encouragement, and comfort to both children and their parents during medical treatments or hospital stays. Each package is created with compassion by volunteers.
What’s Inside? Each care package is customized based on age and needs, but may include items such as:
🎁 For Children:
✦ Soft blankets or stuffed animals for comfort
✦ Activity books, crayons, or games
✦ Socks, beanies, or cozy items
✦ Inspirational notes or small surprises
👩🏻❤️👨🏻 For Parents:
✦ Journals or devotionals
✦ Tea, snacks, or self-care items
✦Encouraging notes/books
✦ Practical items for hospital stays (toothbrush kits, wipes, etc.)
📦 Who Can Apply for a Care Package?
Care packages are available for children currently in treatment for AML, parents or caregivers experiencing extended hospital stays with their child going through AML, or siblings who may also need a little extra comfort.
We would LOVE to send comfort to everyone, but due to limited resources, not all requests can be fulfilled. Submitting an application does not guarantee a care package, but we do our best to reach as many families as possible. Priority is often given based on need and availability.
Thank you for understanding – we see you, and we care deeply.
