About this organization
Mission
Childhood Leukemia Foundation's goal is to empower and improve the lives of young cancer patients and their families through its various program services. Childhood Leukemia Foundation programs include Hope Binders, Hugs U Wear, Wish Baskets and Keeping Kids Connected. Each program is designed to educate, entertain, raise self-esteem and bring a sense of joy into their challenging lives.
About
Keeping kids connected iPads. The Keeping Kids Connected program was designed to allow young cancer patients to remain connected to family, friends and school while actively receiving cancer treatment. Skype enables patients to maintain an open line of communication with family and friends, as well as schoolwork. Additionally, studies have shown that age-appropriate distractions help children cope with the anxiety and boredom associated with cancer treatment and hospital confinement. Playing a game or engaging in an artistic or musical activity can relax a child and reduce the perceived trauma. Overall, the iPad is a welcomed tool for these patients to stay connected to their lives while in the hospital.
