One of the most powerful aspects of our work is our HopeDays program.   We grant a "never-ending" wish - providing a child with monthly fun and exciting events that help restore their hope for the future.  We have events on a child's calendar each and every month so they can look forward to the future with renewed hope and excitement!

HopeKids believes that by bringing joy to these remarkable children via an ongoing schedule of events we can help cultivate hope, acceptance and most importantly the will to live.  Our HopeDays program provides incredible dream come true moments, but also something to look forward to in the future.

In addition to our regular events, to which we invite all the children with whom we are working and their entire families, we grant individually designed special wishes.  All of these activities are fun and exciting, and promote a deepening of relationships and friendships.  In some cases, they provide a return to normalcy for many families facing a fragile life.  For others, they provide a much needed relief during a stressful and often scary time.

The power of a wish is the anticipation.  Our goal is to create a constant state of anticipation, of looking forward to the future with excitement and hope.  Simply put, we want to give the child another reason to fight, another reason to want to live while the medicine and treatments are given the time needed to heal what is making them sick.

HopeCommunity

Support, love, and encouragement are all vital when your world is rocked with the news that your child has cancer or some other life-threatening illness.  We have a support community, but it is uniquely powerful.  It is designed to help restore hope to a difficult and uncertain future.

Our community of children and their families get involved in each other's lives.   They encourage and support each other.  What is unique is that we have children who are newly diagnosed, children who are in the midst of difficult treatment, and children who are healed and now cancer-free!

One of the most inspiring moments is when a child who has just been diagnosed with a particular cancer, meets a child who has been healed from that same cancer.  You can almost see the light go on as they realize that this battle is one they can win.

Our families and children get to know each other at our events each month, and through our online forums.  We come alongside each other with a message of love, compassion and hope that says we can raise the spirits of children in their greatest time of need.
