Please watch this!

A study in 2014 found that the average cost associated with childhood cancer is a startling $833,000. Ninety percent of The National Children's Cancer Society (NCCS) families surveyed said they experienced an increase in expenses as a direct result of a child’s diagnosis. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of studies that look into the financial constraints of families facing this diagnosis. Using the American Institute for Economic Research calculator, $833,000 in 2014 is approximate $1,030,000 in today’s dollars! We have to do better for our families facing this already difficult road. That’s why we are grateful for organizations like Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation that are centering their work on minimizing the financial burden placed on families, while organizations like Tackle Kids Cancer are working to find a cure.

Congrats to Team Ebinger for winning a Gold Banner & Student Choice Award! They will be representing Chicago and the Students In Action Youth Summit in September. Reflecting on local students who had lost their battles within the past few years, Team Ebinger felt that supporting pediatric cancer patients would be a way to further support our community as well. Their goals: Bring joy to children who are battling cancer: Team Ebinger collected over 500 items and assembled over 50 gift bags that included items of comfort and need such as blankets, stuffed animals, coloring materials, activity books, personal care items, hats, headscarves, fidgets and small toys. These gift bags were delivered to Advocate Children's hospital and a higher need hospital downtown Chicago. Spread awareness to our school and community about the importance of supporting this cause: Team Ebinger also planned and hosted a pediatric cancer awareness week in which the entire school participated. Each day of the week highlighted a different organization that raises money for cancer awareness. Team members also educated each classroom about the gift item collection and the importance of supporting children who are suffering and included information in our school wide newsletters and social media pages. This team of 24 students, engaged with over 100 volunteers to impact numerous students, school administrators, cancer patients and neighbors. "Although spreading awareness and informing others is really helpful the fact that we were able to actually collect stuff and distribute to people really made a difference, which is really special." #sia4good #MultiplyingGood #StudentsInAction #NoGiveUpInUs #MollyStrong #PediatricCancerAwareness Multiplying Good

Help us #gograyinmay for children affected by brain cancer or tumors 🎗️ WithLove receives requests for care packages benefiting children with DIPG at least 4 times a year. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas are very aggressive brain tumors found at the base of the brain. They are comprised of the brain’s glial tissue which is made up of cells that help support and protect the brain’s neurons. Due to their location on the brain, these tumors are inoperable, as the pons area is what keeps us alive - it controls breathing, heart rate, swallowing, eyesight, balance, motor skills and consciousness. Essentially this cancer takes over their bodily functions as the tumor grows, but leaves the child mentally aware. We share all of this because it is the harsh truth. Brain tumors are the leading cause of death to children under the age of 10. We must fight more for our courageous kids and raise awareness in unison with our mission to give hope. WithLove not only wants to send comforting care packages or deliver joy during our Golden Heroes’ journeys, but we want to ensure we are uplifting the families and being a voice for their children as well. We hope you’ll join us ✨ Sponsor a Golden Hero Box ($100) today: 🩶 withlovecharity.org/donate 🩶 venmo @withlovecharity #braincancerawareness #braintumorawareness
