Over the weekend, our bereavement team hosted a The Compassionate Friends/USA Worldwide Candle Lighting to honor children who are missed so dearly. It was a heartfelt evening of reflection, love, and community.

A special thank you to the Revel Center for generously providing the space, Nothing Bundt Cakes for donating delicious bundtinis, and LIMA-United By Love for gifting a candle to each family. Your kindness made this event truly meaningful.

We are grateful to everyone who joined us and to those who continue to support our bereavement services.🪽

Navigating a child with a rare disease can be isolating, scary, and overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone.

Our new Rarely Alone program through genetics connects parents with volunteer parents to offer support, guidance, and empathy. Our volunteer parents have navigated through this and have stood where you are today. The goal of this support program is to make the experience a little easier.

If you’re interested in joining Rarely Alone (either as a parent of a child looking for support or as a volunteer parent), please email rarelyalone@corewellhealth.org.

If you love twinkle lights, you're going to love Project Night Lights. On the second Wednesday of each month, our community comes together surrounding our big blue building for a heartwarming tradition at 8:30 p.m.

Patients and families staying the night with us flash their lights from their windows while the community flashes back.

It’s like a giant holiday light show powered entirely by love and kindness.

You're invited this Wednesday, Dec. 10! Bring your flashlight, bring your friends, bring your holiday spirit.🔦✨

The 26th Annual Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Radiothon, presented by Wendy's, is happening NOW! Join us from 7am - 7pm today and tomorrow on Star 105.7 and B93 to hear impactful stories from patients, caregivers and families.

Christian’s big heart touched everyone at HDVCH. Diagnosed with a heart condition in 2021, he spent time a lot of time with the cardiology team and loved bowling, golf and Child and Family Life activities — where he was known as the ‘king of Kahoots.’ Instead of gifts for himself, Christian wanted toys to go to other kids at the hospital.

Christian passed away last November, but his family’s gratitude for the care and compassion he received at HDVCH is endless. To honor his beautiful spirit and the team who made a difference, they created the Christian Maul Memorial Brawl — an annual event supporting the Child and Family Life team that meant so much to him.

Support West Michigan kids and families by making a gift. Here's a few ways you can donate:

▪️Text GRKIDS to 34984
▪️Call the Meijer phone banks at 1-877-953-KIDS (5437) (Star 105.7) or 1-800-B93-KIDS (5437) (93.7 B-93)
▪️Make a gift on the Acrisure online donation page at https://give.corewellhealth.org/donate/radiothon

The 26th Annual Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Radiothon, presented by Wendy's, begins this week! Join us on December 4th and 5th on Star 105.7 and B93 hear inspiring stories of how your generosity impacts patients like Griffin.

At just 16 years old, Griffin faced Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with incredible strength. Diagnosed in September 2024, he spent long hours in treatment but never gave up basketball, thanks to a special port cover.

Griffin says the best part of HDVCH is the team members, and he’s grateful for philanthropically-funded programs like Child and Family Life, the Pediatric Oncology Resource Team and the Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) cancer program that supported his journey. In April 2025, he celebrated remission!

Hear directly from Griffin and his parents this week during Radiothon. Give before December 3rd, and Wendy's will match your gift! 🔗: https://ow.ly/310L50Xygko

Harlow Haverink, 4, wants to be a NICU nurse when she grows up. Her story of being born premature is what inspired this.

"Her favorite thing to play right now is NICU baby," Emily, her mom, said. "We have tape on her baby's face to look like feeding tubes just like she had."

She was born more than 2 months early weighing 3 pounds, 10 ounces. Harlow needed to stay in the NICU for 45 days.

Now, her mom is sharing how grateful she is for their care team with WOOD TV8. Watch at https://www.woodtv.com/video/family-shares-story-of-tiny-fighter-for-prematurity-awareness/11287058/.
