Friendship Forward
Every bag goes to a child or family newly facing childhood cancer — and to the siblings and friends who love them.
Connection doesn't stop when treatment begins. Friendship Forward care packages keep kids connected during treatment — for the diagnosed child, and for the siblings and friends who are fighting alongside them.

A guided book or journal — "How I Feel" or The Invisible String Workbook
