We are BraveHearts for Kids
No family should have to suffer, and no child should have to die, for lack of support.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide life-saving hope and inspiration to families facing a pediatric cancer ordeal through outreach, information and mentoring.
BraveHearts for Kids was conceived to make a life-or-death difference for a child diagnosed with cancer by providing Hope and Information through One-on-One Mentoring, Information, and Emotional Support. By educating, supporting and comforting families in this worst of circumstances, we can help save children’s lives and support families dealing with Pediatric Cancer to become even stronger than before.
- We offer emotional support through 1-on-1 mentoring from parents of pediatric cancer survivors.
- We provide an infusion of facts and hope to families during their time of crisis.
- We improve a child’s survival odds through access to over 500 resources including financial assistance and authoritative information (See Resources).
Become a BraveHeart by finding the best way to donate – through money, through time, through personal interaction.
- Donate to help us build an organization to reach every family and child in America facing the horror of pediatric cancer. Nothing is too small. Every dollar or asset donated supports programs which directly affect the ultimate outcome for a suffering child and their family.
- Help us spread the word by donating your time and creativity through social media, email, church groups, clubs, etc.
- Become a Bravehearts Mentor. Has your family been touched by pediatric cancer and are you looking to provide support to a family dealing with a similar crisis? Become a “BraveHeart” Mentor! We need people like you to provide experience, empathy, and understanding to a family in need of support.
