Starlight Children's Foundation

When a child or teenager has a serious medical condition, everyone in the family is affected. The kids, their parents and siblings struggle, in different ways, to grapple with the intrusion of illness or serious injury into their lives.

We understand what families go through when a child is sick, and how important it is for families to find relief from constant worry and isolation. Our entertainment, education and family activity programs have been proven to distract children from their pain, help them better understand and manage their illnesses, and connect families facing similar challenges so that no one feels alone.

1. Childhood illness is devastating; no family should have to struggle alone.

2. When a child is very sick, entertainment, education and normal childhood experiences aid in the healing process.

3. While doctors work to restore a child’s health, it is important to restore the entire family’s spirit.
