Connecticut Children's Foundation

With Giving Tuesday behind us, we’re reflecting on the countless acts of kindness that light up Connecticut Children's every day—like the bond between Emily and Joe, one of our incredible (and bald) security guards. During treatment, Emily lost her hair and turned to Joe with a smile, saying, “Now we look the same!” From that moment on, their friendship blossomed—built on shared laughs, secret handshakes, and resilience. Joe’s warmth brought joy to Emily’s hardest days, reminding us all how powerful meaningful connections can be. This holiday season, there’s still time to make a difference for kids like Emily. Your generosity can help us deliver care, comfort, and moments of joy when they’re needed most. Together, we can be the light that guides children through their darkest days. 💛✨ Click the link to learn more, https://bit.ly/4fzmLW9 #ConnecticutChildrens #GiveBack

Today, Isaac is a sophomore studying finance at Messiah University. But in June 2016, he was an 11-year-old facing the toughest challenge of his life: a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). After three rounds of chemo at Connecticut Children's, Isaac traveled to Boston for a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Soon, kids like Isaac will be able to get life-saving treatments close to home in Connecticut Children's new Advanced Cellular & Gene Therapy Unit.
