Time in the hospital means time away from school, friends and the life they knew. It becomes critical for these teens, who are facing the battle of their lives, to maintain a sense of connection to their family, friends, and lifestyle in order to battle their treatments with a solid frame of mind, courage, and determination.
Our Teen 'Welcome' Kit Program is designed to support hospitalized teens, ages 13 and older, who are treated for cancer or other life-threatening illnesses. The backpack contains items that are useful and fun to meet their unique needs while in the hospital, or at home.
Our dedicated volunteers help assemble Teen Kits and handcraft Bandana Pillows for over 2,000 teenagers across the country every year! Since 2005, over 22,000 hospitalized teens and young adults have received one of these Teen 'Welcome' Kits!
