Does your child experience frequent or long hospitalizations? Are they medically complex with a life-limiting condition? Your warrior is the hero of their own story. We'd love to spread some joy and comfort to your child's life with a joy kit & our other programs!
One day at a time- this is enough...Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."

Our community came together in Addi's memory at Addi's Annual Essex Fire Department's Community Blood Drive and gave enough blood to help more than 250 people. Multiple Red Cross staff come to us in tears, to share how meaningful this day was for them. Thank you doesn't suffice.
"To honor Addi’s courageous spirit – her “Addi-tude” - that she displayed throughout her inspiring life, I ask all of us to continue to try to meet life’s relentless challenges with equally relentless resilience, joy, and love for one another."
Dr. Mark Gorman, Boston Children's Hospital
