Be there for sick children and their families
When Sara’s baby came three months early, she said, “We just thought she was going to spend a couple months in the hospital … but she kept getting sick.” Baby Bobbie spent 952 days in the hospital fighting a chronic lung disorder before doctors finally told Sara that she could bring her home in early 2021. Your crypto gift helps families like Sara and Bobbie’s stay together and near the care they need.

What can crypto do for children experiencing critical illness?
Our mission is to be there for sick kids and their families, providing comfort and support when and where they need it most. We accomplish this by providing housing steps away from the Bay Area’s world-class children’s hospitals; serving daily meals to combat food insecurity at the hospital, and psychosocial support services that ease the emotional burden families face during medical crisis.
