Programs
During Gavin's journey we found care packages for siblings, but never one dedicated entirely to them. So we built it, and a little more.
What we do
Program 01
The heart of why we began. When a child is in treatment, their brothers and sisters fight a quieter battle. We hand-pick a care package for each sibling at University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital, built around their own specific favorites, so they know they're seen, too.
Program 02
A diagnosis turns a family's world upside down in an instant. We keep care packages stocked at the hospital for parents at the time of diagnosis: small comforts for the hardest first days, when everything feels uncertain.
Program 03
Gavin fought stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma for five and a half years. We contribute to the research working toward gentler treatments and a cure, so fewer families ever have to walk this road.
Program 04
Over the next five years, we plan to give back to Stead Family Children's Hospital, the place that became our second home across roughly 300 trips, to create a special space in Gavin's honor.
How a sibling package comes together
Ages, hobbies, favorite snacks, characters, teams, colors, and anything to avoid. The more specific, the better.
Each package is built around one child's own favorites, never a one-size-fits-all bag.
Delivered at Stead Family Children's Hospital, shipped home, or picked up locally.
$25 goes a long way toward a sibling's care package.
Help fill a packageFor Gavin, for every sibling.
Every package is hand-picked around one child's own favorites, so a brother or sister in the hardest season of their life knows they're seen, too.
