Childhood Cancer: Small Patients, Big Fighters

🎗️ Did you know 1 in 260 children in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday?
🎗️ Cancer also remains the number one cause of death by disease among children.

Every child with cancer deserves to live a long, healthy life. This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, help us spread awareness. No child should have to face this battle alone.

🌟Monday Motivation 🌟

New week, new chapter, look for the blessings every day.

While not every day is good, there is good in every day. Be mindful of focusing on the good. Open your eyes to your blessings— both big and small. Maybe you see a butterfly, you get an unexpected phone call from a friend or you enjoyed your favorite coffee or tea this morning. Take a moment to write down the things that bring you joy and return to that list if you need a reminder or boost during the week.

Hope you have a Happy Monday and a week full of beautiful blessings.

We received a beautiful donation earlier this week of about 30 hand-knitted hats, each one created with care and love. 💕

These colorful hats were made by Kate, a local resident and stroke patient, who chooses to spend her time giving back to the community through her knitting. Her inspiration comes from her sister, a 9-time cancer thriver who lives out of state.

We are so grateful for Kate’s generosity and thoughtfulness. These hats will bring comfort, warmth, and a reminder of kindness to our clients facing cancer. 💜

Thank you, Kate, for turning your talent into hope for others!
