We're especially excited about finding today's charity and you're about to read why :-)
When seriously ill children and their families need more than medicine, CCA's innovative programs create joy one moment at a time. The Children’s Cancer Association didn’t start with a foundation, it started with a family. One who faced its own battle with serious pediatric illness almost two decades ago in Portland, Oregon. From that experience came a passionate commitment and focus: To deliver the resources, the friendship and the healing power of music to families facing the same challenges.
We prescribe joy.
For children diagnosed with serious illness and their families, every moment is precious. At CCA, our goal is to transform as many of those moments as possible — with joy.
Why joy?
Because in the fight against devastating illness, joy is often forgotten. Because joy connects us with the power of hope, comfort, and happiness and helps families and children feel uplifted when their lives have been turned upside down. Because joy is something every child deserves.
One of their programs is called MusicRx. You can read more about it and also take a look at their Amazon Wish List.
Such amazing families all through that video, and the volunteers, too. My gosh.
