Leia's Kids is wonderful organization. They hosted a Royal party at the Texas Legends game for my son who is fighting childhood cancer. The celebration was full of fun, bonding and memories that'll last a lifetime. Leia's Kids has compassion for our families, they are also very thoughtful, kind and loving company. I would highly recommend Leia's Kids to all families that are going through childhood cancer. This experience is a once in a lifetime chance to have your child pampered and feel special.

It’s truly humbling to know that I’m helping provide financial assistance and moments of happiness and relief during such difficult times.

The team at Leia’s Kids is incredibly passionate and dedicated, and their work reminds me why giving back is so important.

Volunteering with Leia’s Kids has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. From the moment I joined, I felt like part of a family dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of children battling cancer and their families.

Leia’s kids was a life saver when my daughter was receiving cancer treatment. They had a meal train all the way up the state of New Jersey. They delivered us enough food for a week! It was so awesome to not have to worry about food. So even from across the country, Leia’s Kids has made a huge impact on my family.

Leia’s Kids is an empowering and hope offering nonprofit. They provide many unique services based off of true knowledge and experience that other childhood cancer nonprofits can’t. Leia’s Kids honors the children and their family through Crown A Kid Parties and a check to cover miscellaneous needs. Uniquely, Leias Kids has their own Princess that allows all children to relate to royalty. Leia’s kids truly wants to provide hope and a better outlook to the family. Being involved allows me to have a better outlook on the true hope and joy that is in our world even during hard times.

I have volunteered for quite a few Leia’s Kids events over the last two years and it has been an incredible experience. Each event is uniquely personalized to each kid and truly makes them feel so loved and seen. The founder, Leia, clearly wears her heart on her sleeve and gives each kid a day they will never forget. Aside from beautiful parties, Leia’s Kids helps to cover the many extra costs associated with childhood cancer (food, gas, appliances, etc). This non-profit meets family's where they are at and offers a message of hope and joy. I couldn’t recommend enough donating and/or volunteering for Leia’s Kids. It’s truly changed my life.
