September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and it feels like the right time to share where LOVE, NILS is today. In December 2025, after eight years as a registered charity, LOVE, NILS closed.
It started as a toy drive in my garage after Nils died. It grew into eight programs across three Singapore hospitals, built by our volunteers, donors, partners, staff and board.
In 2019, LOVE, NILS created and funded the first Paediatric Oncology Care Coordinator role at National University Hospital in Singapore. When we closed, our remaining financial assets were gifted to NUH so that role could continue.
To everyone who was part of LOVE, NILS: thank you. This page will stay open, with occasional updates. To follow what comes next, you can also find me at Lesli Berggren. The charity has closed. The work continues.
With love and gratitude,
Lesli Berggren
Founder, LOVE, NILS
