Networking
Networking
families of children with cancer was how Kids Cancer Crusade began and
it continues to be a very important part of what we do. Part of the
application process is giving us permission to add your child's website
and basic information to our website. As our network grows, families
are able to connect with other families to share experiences. Those
dealing with a new diagnosis or relapse find it especially helpful.
To facilitate easy networking, our children are currently divided up in the following ways:
* Diagnosis
* Location
* Angels
* Graduates
* Birthdays

Care Packages
Birthday Care PackagesPackages of child-friendly items are mailed to patients and siblings for their birthday. Each and every birthday is special - we want to help brighten their day! At the beginning of each year a confirmation will be sent to all current families by email to check for address changes and the desire to receive a package. Except in the case of a late request, each package will contain a personalized card homemade by Lela Foos.
Transplant Care Packages
Packages of lots of fun things to do are mailed when a child is heading to to transplant or another particularly long hospital stay. Comfy pajamas are included - please provide your child's clothing size. These packages must be requested.
Hat Care Packages
Many comfy and cute hats have been donated just for the kids that have lost their hair due to chemotherapy. Knitted hats are available during the winter season and other hats are available any time. These must be requested.
Parent Care Packages (Coming Soon)
By providing gas cards and other gift certificates we hope to relieve a little stress for the parents.

(P.A.L.S.) Ohio consists of a group of volunteers all over Ohio that
has set out to provide both dog and cat food along with cat litter to
the disabled, elderly, ill, and homebound so they can care for their
pets.
We realize that many of these people rely on the company and companionship of these animals but are at times unable to provide for them. With this common goal, we have come together to provide the basic needs of these animals; free food, and cat litter.
