It is September and we are on the lookout for extra hearts to wrap local kiddos in a giant community hug! 💛🌟

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re hoping to build the World’s Biggest Hug for kids with cancer. 🫂 At Jacob’s Heart, a hug isn't just a physical squeeze. It is a continuous blanket of love and belonging wrapped around families during their hardest moments. Families face months (often years) of treatments, fears, and financial strain.

This is why we need your ongoing magic! ✨

By becoming a Circle of Hearts monthly donor, you ensure that no family ever has to face childhood cancer alone. Your reliable, monthly gift provides a steady blanket of care all year long. Even just $10 a month will help fill a bag of groceries for a family, ensuring they have access to nutritious food while their child is battling cancer. 💛

Add your arms to our world's biggest hug at the link in our bio and see how you can make a difference today! 🫶🏻

September begins tomorrow which means Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is here! 💛

This entire month is dedicated to raising awareness for a disease that impacts far too many families around the world. While childhood cancer deserves to be talked about every single day, this month gives us an opportunity to advocate even louder, raise even more awareness, and uplift the voices of kiddos and families affected by cancer so change can happen.✨

During this month, our Jacob’s Heart staff and board members will be going into cities in our service areas to accept proclamations declaring September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🌟 We are excited to be accepting proclamations from over 20 cities this year, further spreading the awareness of childhood cancer and the work we do at Jacob’s Heart.

This September, we invite you to Go Gold with us in honor of every kiddos affected by cancer. For those in the fight, those in remission, and those we have lost. 💛🎗️

Meet Ulises, an energetic 5-year-old that lights up every room he enters and has a way of making friends wherever he goes. His joy is contagious and it doesn’t take long to find yourself smiling right alongside him! 🌟

After battling B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia for over a year, he got to ring the bell in March 2026, signifying he is done with his treatment. This summer, Ulises and his family finally got to experience Camp Heart + Hands after having to miss out in previous years. 🏕️ Their weekend was filled with the simple, joyful moments that make childhood feel like childhood. Ulises got to laugh with new friends, play, explore, and make memories together with his family. ☀️💗

Read Ulises’s story at the link in our bio and see how your support for Camp Heart + Hands helped one of our families have an unforgettable time! 💖

Our hearts are full after another incredible weekend at Camp Heart + Hands! ❤️

At the beginning of the month, we wrapped up another Camp weekend with even more amazing memories made with our families ✨ Kiddos got to make new friends while playing in the bounce houses or splashing in the pool, while parents took time to relax and connected under the beautiful redwoods at Mission Springs.🌲 We are so happy to put on a beautiful weekend like Camp Heart + Hands for families so they can take some time to disconnect and have fun together. ⛺🧡 Thank you to everyone who donated to our campaign for Camp or shopped our Amazon Wishlist.

We want to thank all of the nurses and doctors who helped volunteer their time to be our Camp counselors, you helped make the weekend so fun for families! Thank you to all of our volunteers who helped with everything in between to make the weekend run smoothly.

We are incredibly grateful to the Del E. Webb Foundation for their generous support of our transportation program. Thanks to their recent grant, we were able to purchase two new minivans that will help ensure children and their families can get to medical appointments safely, reliably, and on time! 🚗

These vans are more than just transportation. They help us continue providing door-to-door service that eases the burden on families during an incredibly difficult time. Each ride offers parents a chance to catch their breath, children a comfortable trip to their appointments, and families an opportunity to connect with our compassionate drivers. These moments often become meaningful relationships that extend far beyond the drive itself. ❤️✨

To the Del E. Webb Foundation, thank you for believing in our mission and investing in the families we serve. Your generosity is making a lasting difference in the lives of children battling cancer and the loved ones who walk beside them every step of the way. ❤️

Camp is two days away and we are counting down the hours until this unforgettable weekend begins for our families battling cancer. We can’t put this weekend on without your help, thank you to everyone who has already given to Camp! 💗 From providing parent massages, camp packs, or even sending a whole family to Camp, your donation carries a lot of impact. You are giving kiddos battling cancer the chance to be a kid outside of hospital walls, giving parents a chance to relax, and families the chance to connect with others going through similar journeys. 🎗️
