👋 Hi, we help families battling childhood cancer.

We support families of children ages 0-18 with financial donations, host dream parties for warriors and give a message of hope.

“Leia’s Kids has helped my son who is fighting ALL and relieved some financial expenses that cancer brings with it. They were a blessing to us and we are forever grateful for them!”

Beckett’s mom, Kaitlin Burge

Thank you to our sponsors!

Insurance covers the hospital, but what about all the other expenses?

Miscellaneous costs of cancer quickly add up and many families are left with no way to pay for them.

Most parents have other children besides their child with cancer.

Managing childcare for other children is difficult and expensive.

Mom or dad has to quit their job and stay at the hospital.

The loss of income makes the extra bills even more difficult to handle.

Expenses go through the roof when a child has cancer.

Airline tickets, staying overnight in hospitals and hotels, costs for takeout and premade food all create unmanageable costs for families.

About Leia's Kids

Leia's Kids

We are non-profit charity whose mission is to provide hope and support to children and their families battling childhood cancer.

Many of us know local children and families that have been affected by childhood cancer. Doctors and nurses work hard to cure patients’ 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 support to children and their families who are facing the often overwhelming childhood cancer pathway.

Leia Therese Hunt, Leia’s Kids Founder, advocates for childhood cancer awareness through her faith-filled inspirational message, not only to those battling cancer, but to community groups, religious groups, corporations and educational institutions.
