Our Impact

A year in review, thanks to you.

In 2024, your support helped keep families together – 69,432 families to be precise. This is an extraordinary effort that wouldn’t be possible without your support. Your generous donations help make a significant and lasting difference to the lives of families with ill or injured children. So we thank you, and so do the thousands of people you’ve helped.
Thank you times a million. The service you provided during our truly darkest hour was not asked for, but exactly what we needed. We can’t thank you enough."

Our National Corporate Partners

We simply could not provide as much impact as we do without the vital contributions and support from our National Corporate Partners. Thanks to their generosity, we’re able to keep families close to their ill or injured child, and ensure they’re surrounded by the essential comforts, supplies and care when they need it most.

Make a Difference for Families & Children

Parents don’t know when their child will need medical help. But they should know they can always access the care they need. And with your help, we can strive to support them all throughout their journey.
