We Began...

...delivering 50 Brighten Your Day Bags at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
...with sending cards and care packages to 12 families.

Now we send monthly mail to 60!

Today

Volunteers write and make cards around the country. We send mail to over 340 Sent With Love Kids, siblings, parents - 68 families in all. Want to be a part of this effort? Mention in your donation note that you want us to send a Sent With Love Day in a Box.

SWLKids4Kids is a new program that began with a wonderful 5th grade class decorating our 6x9 envelopes. Now four different classes are working to decorate our mailing envelopes.

In addition, we make special deliveries at hospitals throughout the year. This year, we added Halifax Hospital. Next year, we will add Paley Institute with the help of a mom whose son had 18 surgeries. She explained that there was nothing like Sent With Love to support them thru that process.

In 2026

We are planning nine special deliveries:

C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan
- Early March: Brighten Your Day Bag Delivery
- May: Mother's Day and Nurse Team Week Thank You Video & Gift Delivery
- July: Christmas in July featuring Lego!
- December: Nurse Team Coffee Station Refresh
Halifax Hospital, Daytona Beach, Florida
- January: Brighten Your Day Bag Delivery
- May: Mother's Day
- July: Christmas in July featuring Lego!
- October: Pediatric Nurse Team Week Gift Delivery and Lunch
Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute, West Palm Beach, Florida
- January: Brighten Your Day Bag Delivery

Your Monthly Gift...

...allows us to plan and budget. It provides stability. It encourages our volunteers. It is a way to be intimately involved in Sent With Love as you learn how your gifts are being used from month to month. It invites a relationship as we serve together long-term.

That's why our default donation type for this campaign is monthly.
This is actually an exciting $24,000 annual goal!

Monthly gifts of any size can make a difference and help us plan for the year. Will it be $10/month for a warrior kid's birthday gift card? How about $500 to sponsor mail to all of our Sent With Love Kid families? Whatever the amount, know that your dollars will be focused on the mission of sending HOPE to families and caregivers.

How We Show Love

The biggest way that Sent With Love stands out in the crowd is our personalization. Reaching families during today's trials and celebrating today's wins. You make this possible!

Sent With Love sends cards and care packages to kids and their families as they fight against pediatric cancer and other critical illnesses. This includes fighting after-affects for years. Your gifts power active support in the form of mail and encouragement.

Your Donations will Send HOPE in 2025

Nurse Team Delivery Part 2

We delivered 75 Christmas in July bags to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital oncology/hematology kids & their siblings

Emelia's mom wrote, "We really appreciated and enjoyed the Legos for Christmas in July. It made the first night of our stay so special. It wasn't until we began spending a lot of time in the hospital that we realized the importance of toys like Legos. The gift was well thought out and very well received."
