With your help, we've added seven new hospitals to our Wish List Program in 2019, bringing the total number of hospitals in our network to 65. Your support is allowing us to reach more patients at more hospitals than ever!
Our Wish List Program allows a patient to choose an age-appropriate, Wi-Fi ready electronic gift any day of the year. We strive to package and ship their gift within 48 hours, allowing the patient to benefit right away from the diversion and connection that Mikey found was so helpful to him.
Your ongoing commitment to Mikey's Way inspires us everyday.
With deep appreciation,
Les Friedman

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
Cancer treatment is a miserable experience.
Here's how Mikey's Way helps:
"My son was diagnosed shortly before his 12th birthday, and he was in a really tough place. His vision of life was so dark. While he was in the hospital Mikey's Way came to bring their special form of love and caring, giving my son a laptop computer.
This simply generous act opened his eyes to the goodness of life at one of his lowest points and honestly gave him faith and strength to go on fighting.
He has used his gift from Mikey's Way to stay in touch with friends and the world."
