Halloween is a time for costumes, spooky decorations, and going door-to-door collecting candy in jack-o'-lantern baskets. For
families facing childhood cancer, the holiday can look a little different. Treatment schedules, immune concerns, and financial stress can make celebrating feel out of reach. Still, many families find creative ways to bring a bit of magic to the day.
Some kids trick-or-treat from hospital rooms, while others decorate their homes and enjoy small celebrations with family. Parents often get creative, handing out candy from the porch or organizing drive-by costume parades so their child can see friends from a safe distance. No matter how it looks, the goal is the same: to let kids just be kids, even for a moment.
At
Pinky Swear Foundation, we believe every family deserves to celebrate these moments without worrying about how to pay for gas, groceries, or rent. Your support helps make that possible. When families receive help with everyday expenses, they can focus on what matters most - their child.
