Who we are
About us
We are non-profit charity, founded in 2017, whose mission is to provide hope and support to children and their families battling childhood cancer.
Many of us know local children and families have that been affected by childhood cancer. Doctors and nurses work hard to cure patient’s cancers, but families need more than medical help to get them through this difficult time. This is the point at which the Leia’s Kids Foundation intervenes. The foundation provides direct financial assistance to children and their families who are facing the sometimes overwhelming childhood cancer pathway. Additionally, Leia Therese Hunt, the Leia’s Kids Founder, robustly advocates for childhood cancer awareness through personally delivering her faith-filled inspirational message, not only to those battling cancer, but to community groups, religious groups, corporations and educational institutions.
