FOOD FOR FAMILIES

FOOD FOR FAMILIES helps alleviate the daily stress and cost of meals for family members during their child’s hospital stay. The expense of eating in cafeterias or ordering food to be delivered can be overwhelming to a family dealing with extensive medical bills and cost related to their child’s treatment. Additionally, children with cancer are often too sick or young to allow a parent to leave their hospital room to get a meal. FOOD FOR FAMILIES filled Pantry and meals delivered provides food so parents don’t have to worry about having cash in order to eat.

The FOOD FOR FAMILIES program is not simply providing meals as an end in itself. Removing the need to worry about where every meal is coming from provides stability and freedom from financial stress for these families going through this already tremendously stressful treatment. You or your Company can sponsor a weekly meal, snacks, or help fill the pantry. For more information contact angelica@kidsbeatingcancer.com or phone Angelica at 407-894-2888

MY ROOM

Bringing Comfort, Joy, and a Sense of Home to Hospitalized Children

The MY ROOM program by Kids Beating Cancer helps children undergoing bone marrow or stem cell transplants feel less isolated and more at home during long hospital stays.

Each child chooses a favorite theme—whether it’s Paw Patrol, Star Wars, Ninja Turtles, Princesses, or a beloved sports team—and we transform their hospital room with themed bedding, toys, and decorations. This personal touch brings comfort, joy, and familiarity, turning a sterile medical space into a place that reflects their personality and brings smiles during a difficult time.

Currently serving:

Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children
AdventHealth for Children Orlando

MY ROOM helps children heal with hope, surrounded by the things they love most.
