WithLove Charity is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing emotional support, comfort, and joy to children battling cancer and their families. Founded in 2012 by two-time childhood cancer survivor Tay Scheibe, WithLove’s mission is personal. We aim to brighten the lives of young cancer patients by delivering personalized care packages and organizing special events that foster moments of happiness and connection during a very difficult journey.
Our Programs:
- Golden Hero Boxes: One of our signature programs where we create and deliver personalized care packages, called Golden Hero Boxes, to children undergoing cancer treatment. Each box is carefully customized based on the child’s personality, interests, and hobbies and contains toys, crafts, and other items that provide comfort, sensory play, and distraction during long hospital stays. Every box is unique, ensuring that each child feels special, uplifted, and connected to our Founder.
- Heart of the Holidays: We organize joyful holiday celebrations at pediatric cancer treatment facilities, providing children with new toys and festive activities. This program brings the holiday spirit directly to children who may not be able to leave the hospital, ensuring they don’t miss out on these special moments. Since 2012, we’ve donated nearly 15,000 items and hosted over 30 holiday events, significantly impacting the emotional well-being of these children.
- Sideline Smiles: Through this program, we offer children and their families the opportunity to attend sporting events, concerts, and live shows in their community. These outings allow families to spend quality time together, creating cherished memories and offering a break from the daily stress of cancer treatments. Since its inception, Sideline Smiles has provided over 150 families with unforgettable experiences.
Our "Customers":
WithLove Charity primarily serves children diagnosed with cancer, their families, and the pediatric oncology treatment centers that care for them. Our focus is on children aged 1-18 from all backgrounds undergoing treatment at hospitals and clinics we partner with. Collaborating with these facilities ensures that our programs are seamlessly integrated into the children’s treatment journeys.
Business Model:
Our business model is based on a combination of fundraising efforts, grants, sponsorships, digital campaigns, and donations. We partner with individuals, local businesses, and corporations to raise the necessary funds to support our programs. We also rely on in-kind donations, volunteers, and community events to keep costs low and maximize the reach of our programs. With the $150,000 we aim to raise, we plan to expand our program outreach, increase the number of care packages, host additional holiday events, hire and train our first staff member, and offer more families access to our programs.
Team and Credentials:
WithLove Charity is 100% volunteer-run and led by a passionate Founder dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children with cancer. As mentioned earlier, Tay is a cancer survivor who has firsthand knowledge of the disease's physical, emotional, and mental toll. This personal connection drives the organization’s mission and fuels our commitment to delivering love, hope, and joy to families in need.
Our team includes a dedicated group of board members, ambassadors, and volunteers with backgrounds in business development, event coordination, marketing, medical and child life services. We also collaborate closely with pediatric oncology treatment facilities to ensure that our programs meet the needs of the children and families we serve.
Impact:
Over the past twelve years, WithLove Charity has impacted thousands of children and families, delivering personalized care packages, hosting joyful holiday celebrations, and creating unforgettable experiences. Our programs are designed to provide immediate joy and offer lasting emotional support to children and their families as they navigate the challenges of cancer treatment.
Future Goals:
With the funds we are seeking, we aim to:
- Expand our Golden Hero Boxes program to reach more children, especially in underserved or rural areas. We also want to create a bulk-ordering system for treatment facilities to have our care packages in-house for future patients.
- Increase the number of holiday events hosted in pediatric oncology treatment centers across the region, ensuring that more children experience the joy of the holiday season.
- Enhance our operational capacity by increasing our volunteer network, strengthening partnerships with local businesses, hiring our first staff member, and improving our program logistics and delivery systems.
Conclusion:
WithLove Charity’s programs are designed to bring light, joy, and comfort to children facing the toughest battle of their lives. By raising $150,000, we will be able to expand our reach, create more smiles, and continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of young cancer patients and their families. Every dollar raised will go directly toward brightening the lives of these children, helping them feel seen, supported, and loved through every step of their journey.
