My Nonprofit Reviews

During the last few years Childhood Leukemia Foundation has been sending our children diagnosed with cancer "Wish Baskets". The baskets are requested soon after the child is diagnosed. As you can imagine the first couple of weeks is particularly traumatizing for the child and parent as they learn about the disease and the length of treatment. They are in a state of shock as they try to get questions answered and begin rearranging their lives. Soon this beautiful purple package arrives. I have people stopping me as I attempt to deliver this gift. Comments like, "Wow how pretty, who is that for, what is in it?" I smile as I continue onto the child's room. Unfortunately our rooms are often bland and despite good intention, not very attractive. This colorful gift arrives and immediately I see the child's eyes light up. Some say, "is that for me?" This little gift brings much sunshine and "color" into their lives. The parents are surprised too! They want to know, who is expressing this type of care about them. The teenagers love having the gift cards and begin thinking about what they want. I don't know whose idea this was, but I commend them and commend the foundation for all of your efforts!
