Lending Hearts is the most amazing organization for pediatric oncology patients in Pittsburgh. Children who are going through the difficulties of cancer are always in and out of doctors office and have a difficult time in school. Sometimes their friends pull away and don't understand what their friend is going through. With Lending Hearts, children are taken to fun events like sporting games, theater shows and art classes. Children get to be in fun atmospheres with peers just like them where they get to learn to things and even meet athletes or other professionals who survived cancer. I wish this organization was around when I was battling cancer. Lending Hearts is such a fantastic organization I'm excited to see what the future has in store for it and it's participants!
Lending Hearts is a one-of-kind organization that truly has a tremendous impact on the Pittsburgh Region. I am extremely grateful to be a board member for an organization dedicated to providing fantastic programs for children with cancer. Throughout the year, Lending Hearts creates interactive events and programs for these children and their families to enjoy. I am consistenly amazed by the amount of passion and commitment surrounding the mission of this organization.
I have been fortunate to watch the development of Lending Hearts from a vision 8 years ago to the development of a dedicated and compassionate Board of Directors and Board of Advisors and on to outreach and program development. Lending Hearts may only be in the midst of its second year, but what they have been able to accomplish has been tremendous. Their plans for the future are limitless. The impact the programs have on kids and their families is being felt and making a difference. As the knowledge of Lending Hearts grows, so will their impact on youth in the region who are fighting and surviving cancer and their families.
I am so appreciative that Lending Hearts has been established! It is the only Pittsburgh nonprofit available for kids with cancer. The organization strives to bring the kids and their families together for support, hope, and enjoyable times away from their daily focus which typically is on the child's illness. By incorporating social, educational, and wellness events for the families, it allows the kids to unite and not only grow from each other's support but give opportunity to spread the word about this much needed organization! Until now, there was a gap in the community for providing services solely to children with cancer....until now. Thank you Lending Hearts!
