THIS IS WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO! Meet Hopecam kid, Cade from Sutton, Nebraska! Cade’s mom said, “Hopecam was life changing for my five-year-old son Cade when he was diagnosed with cancer. He was diagnosed right before the start of his kindergarten school year. Because of his intense chemo treatments, he was not able to attend school with his classmates. He was devastated to be missing out on all the fun things they get to do in Kindergarten. Because of Hopecam, Cade was able to still stay connected to his class. He was able to feel like he was still a part of the classroom while sitting in the hospital receiving treatment. Cade was able to join in on many storytimes, classroom songs and even during free time where his peers could visit with him and play games. Not only did Hopecam help Cade during treatments but it offered a smooth transition back to the classroom when his treatments were over. Since he was able to stay connected with his class and learn many of the songs and routines, he wasn't so nervous when it was time to go back to school in person. Hopecam allowed him to feel a part of his classroom from the beginning.” Keep up the great work, buddy! Do you want to help us help more kids like Cade? Visit www.hopecam.org/donate or contact Brett Fox at brett@hopecam.org for corporate sponsorship opportunities.

This giving season, children with cancer depend on your generosity.   Without your support, Hopecam can’t provide the lifeline that keeps them connected to their friends and classmates. Without Hopecam, these children face isolation and fear.   Your donation brings hope when it’s needed most. The need is urgent. Please give today! Text “DONATE” to 1-844-786-2100 or visit www.hopecam.org/donate

Back to School looks a little different for each of our Hopecam kids, but one thing remains the same: their courage and determination! Whether they're logging in from home, walking through the school doors, or attending hospital school, we're here to support them every step of the way. Let's celebrate these incredible students as they start a new chapter filled with learning, connection, and hope.
