Aren't you awesome? I bet you're super clever and good looking too.
We help kids with cancer and their families; by providing mental health and community support and helping kids find a joyful childhood, with caner.
Helping is easy.
You get help contribute gift to our REWARDS program.
You can raise funds for our COMMUNITY or MENTAL HEALTH programs.
You can COME TO AN EVENT!
REWARDS PROGRAM:
This is how we got started as an organisation. There is LITERALLY a Bravery Box on ward. It's filled with all sorts of rewarding goodies; toys, craft, joke books, gift cards, you name it, it's probably been in the box.
When a child has a painful or confronting procedure, they are offered a reward from the Bravery Box. They are rewarded for their bravery and medical compliance but they also get the chance to practice 'recovery'. Recovery is the time it takes to move from 'on my, that was SO awful' to 'I'm OK now'. Our rewards program help our kids recovery more quickly.
What you practice you get good at, so every time a child with cancer practices recovery WITH the Bravery Box, it helps them be better able to nail that practice other times in their lives.

Things we will ever so politely decline:
Second Hand Toys: These kiddos often have significantly depleted immune systems. Day to day bacteria can make these children medically compromised so to play it safe we only accept new toys.
Food - Beginning chemo is like beginning a game called 'what doesn't taste disgusting today'. Something that previously tasted good often tastes different during chemo treatment. Kids can get upset when something that should taste marvellous tastes like cardboard.
Hair Accessories: not ALL kiddos lose their hair on treatment but MOST do. A lot grow their hair back during treatment but the children who ARE struggling with their hair loss don't really want to be faced with a beautiful hair clip when they've just had to tolerate a painful procedure - kind of like adding an insult to their injury. With thoughts to the children who do struggle with hair loss we avoid these items in the bravery box.
