Background
While our Toys and Books program donates items to pediatric cancer hospitals around the world, this program is focused towards dream gifts for individual cancer patients. Similar to toys and books, our care packages supply families with items they need / want but may not be able to afford, or just goodies to spark some joy and provide comfort within their lives.
About This Program
Our Care Packages Program gifts patients a dream gift of their choice to celebrate a milestone or just spark some much-needed joy. Usually, gifts are sent through Amazon,
Alternatively, we hold packaging events for volunteers to create a box of items requested by the patient's guardian or generalized comfort goodies. In the past, we have partnered with the nonprofit organization HopeWorks to hold packaging events.
Though most patients a part of this program live within the US, we have also helped international pediatric cancer patients. If you live outside the US but still would like a care package, feel free to submit a request.
A Holiday Special - Corporate Sponsorships
Each November, our team begins planning corporate partnerships for the holiday season. Whether they are toy companies or product companies, we thank these generous companies for sponsoring gifts for our kids.
In December of 2024, Tadpole Boston sponsored ~10 gifts, Henry Bear's Park sponsored $250 worth of presents for five patients, DoodleHopper 4 Kids sponsored $250 worth of presents for five patients, and MCoBeauty donated two PR boxes of makeup and other fun items for two patients.
Our heartfelt thanks to these companies for supporting our patients during the Christmas season. If your corporation would like to sponsor Christmas gifts for kids—in the form of physical items or monetary donations—contact us.

We hope to hold packaging events every 2 months in the DMV or Boston to gather volunteers in-person and prepare care packages for kids with cancer. Contact us if you'd like to help!
