My Appeal
A child's life changing illness or injury like cancer or diabetes is terrifying for the child as well as his or her parents and siblings. Case for Smiles is on of the few organizations that walks beside the family through their traumatic journey. Our bright, whimsical pillowcases bring comfort, strength, and joy to the child during his or her illness and reminds the whole family that they are not alone. Our PTSD resources help parents help their children navigate the emotional trauma of that experience. Please join me as a donor or as a participant as we get fit while helping the families we serve find a reason to smile while building resilience for the future.

My Cause
The Mission: Ryan's Case For Smiles (CFS) enables children with cancer and other life-changing illnesses, as well as their families, to cope with their illness today, while building resilience to thrive in the future. In short, to feel better to heal better.
About the Organization: Ryan's Case for Smiles, with 120 chapters nationwide and deliveries to 363 hospitals, improves the quality of life of children and their families as they undergo treatment for life-changing illnesses and injuries. We are dedicated to the mental health and well-being of the child and their family. Supporting the child's emotional needs can be as important as providing medical care. Ryan's Case for Smiles provides over 200,000 bright cheerful pillowcases per year to children in treatment that give an emotional boost and remind them that they are not defined by their illness. We are developing one of the first initiatives to address pediatric medical post-traumatic stress and help children's entire families better cope and avoid long term emotional trauma. Ryan's Case for Smiles is devoted to helping sick children with life-changing illnesses feel better to heal better.
