Mikeys Way Foundation

I love Mikey's way. I can't think of a better way to lift-up pediatric cancer patients (including their families) than by helping to keep them stay connected to the outside world during long periods of isolation. The dedication of the entire staff at Mikey's way is an inspiration to us all!

Mikey's Way came to Roswell in Buffalo while my 22 year old sister was being treated there for brain cancer. They went to the kids floor to hand out electronics to help kids connect with their friends and keep busy. A nurse mentioned my sister being upstairs as she was well liked by the nurses but she wasn't a kid. Mikey's way went out of their way to come to my sister's room and they gave her a tablet. She was able to use Facebook to connect with friends and play games to pass the time. They are a lovely organization.

Awesome organization helping kids to smile under extraordinary circumstances. Love them!

We always look forward to our "Mikey's Way Day" at our institution. It is a pleasure working with this group; they are kind, compassionate, and dedicated to this work. Their visit brings so much joy to our patients and families and the message they impart is so powerful. The patients truly receive such a special gift when they receive a Mikey's Way visit!

This group is incredibly giving!! My daughter was in Buffalo Women and Children's Hospital for a very nasty infection and quarantined. A gentleman from the organization gowned up and came in to see her and let her pick a gift. It really brightened her spirit during such a difficult time!!

Mikey's Way volunteers made a special trip up from the kids floor to my 22 year old sister's room when they heard there was a young adult battling brain cancer on another floor. They were very sweet and understanding when she asked them not to take her picture. They gave her a brand new tablet that she used throughout her hospital stay to stay connected with friends. We really appreciated that!

I am so impressed with the love and dedication that the founders, devoted volunteers, and employees have for these critically ill children.

This is such an important organization because it offers joy, hope, and love to these Incredibly deserving children and their families.

Mikey's Way is like no other. It is solely focused and concentrated in bettering the life of children who are going through awful treatments and long stays at the hospital. It truly provides the children with an 'escape'. What an immediate and impactful difference it brings to the life's of children everywhere!!

Mikey's Way is an amazing foundation. Being a cancer survivor myself, going through long hours and days of chemotherapy as an adult was difficult enough- I many times found myself bored and then my mind would race back and forth thinking about all of the treatments I was going through. - not to mention the loneliness that I dealt with. Now- as I think of all of the children going through this terrible treatment, I can not even imagine how lonely and scary it must be for them. Mikey's way has brought smiles to the faces of so many children across multiple hospitals. This foundation is a beautiful way for these children to feel special, cared about, and loved. The electronics connect the children to their family and friends and allow them to escape the thought of their treatment. This idea is brilliant, as a happier child leads to a better, fast recovery. Uplifting children is what Mikey's way is all about.

I've been a Mikey's Way supporter for many years and know the direct impact this foundation has on the lives of children. Knowing that these electronic devices help children stay connected to their friends and/or alleviates some of the fear, stress, boredom or pain they experience compels me to continue supporting this organization. The families of these children are also overwhelmed with fear, exhaustion...and knowing that other people care so deeply about their children gives them the lift they so desperately need.

This is an amazing charity started by an selfless individual. The family has continued the vision of Mikey in so many fabulous ways.

Mikeys Way is a wonderful organization which helps to brighten the lives of children with life altering illnesses. Mikeys parents and the dedicated people who work for the foundation work together to help keep Mikeys dream alive.

Mikey's Way is the real deal in the world of Charitable work. The money they raise is spent thoughtfully and personally to ensure the greatest positive impact on the children who they serve. It's nice to write a check and know that it will truly make a difference in a child's life.

They do amazing things for pediactric oncology patients and their families. These guys are my charity of choice!

Mikey's Way helps children when they need it the most - in the moment of care. Through the gifts of Mikey's Way, kids are provided with a much needed diversion from the monotony of treatments, as well as a way to stay connected to their friends and family.

Mikey's Way is an absolutely incredible organization that makes such a huge difference in the lives of children everywhere. It is run by extraordinarily dedicated individuals who have devoted their lives to keeping Mikey's dream alive. I honestly cannot think of any other organization that makes such an immediate and significant impact on the lives of pediatric cancer patients. I hope they keep doing what they're doing. Their work is so, so important.

Mikey's Way connects kids with friends and family during treatment and helps to make them feel less isolated and alone. They truly put smiles on children's faces!
