At Cancer Kids First, impact is measured not just in numbers, but moments of comfort, joy, and connection for children facing cancer. It’s the creativity poured into a handmade card, the laughter during a virtual birthday call, and the compassion behind every package assembled.

Our Impact
While the map above highlights where we’ve been, hospitals, communities, and countries we’ve worked in, behind each dot is a far bigger network: a global community connected and mobilized online.
Through platforms like TikTok and Instagram, we share individual patient stories, offer behind-the-scenes looks at care package assembly, and make it easy for volunteers to get involved and take action in just a few clicks.
We extend our sincere appreciation to each of our hospital partners for their invaluable role in this mission.

Every package we send, resource we deliver, and program we run has both an immediate and a long-term effect on the children and families we serve.
Reducing Isolation & Anxiety
Care packages help children pass long treatment days with activities like drawing, reading, or playing.
These moments bring distraction, restore a sense of normalcy, and support emotional well-being during hospital stays.
CKF volunteers creating handmade cards at a care packaging event in McLean, Virginia.
Firsthand experience in service, building empathy and teaching the value of consistent, compassionate action.
Gaining insights & knowledge about childhood cancer equips them to educate others and advocate effectively.

Inspiring the Next Generation
Strengthening Care Centers & Hospitals
Donations of medical equipment, educational materials, and therapy resources enhance hospital capacity.
These resources help healthcare teams provide more holistic care — addressing physical, emotional, and developmental needs.
