A slice of kindness is on the menu all August!
We’re so grateful to partner with Pizano’s Pizza for a delicious way to support Esther’s Friends.
Throughout August, for every Chicken Caprese pizza sold, Pizano’s will donate $8 to Esther’s Friends. Every pizza helps us provide comfort and meet needs often left unmet for children facing long-term hospital stays and their families.
So grab a Chicken Caprese pizza, enjoy every bite, and know that you’re helping make a difference for a child and family when they need it most.
Thank you, Pizano’s, for helping us make every child and family we serve one of Esther’s friends.

A caring community can bring comfort in ways that truly matter. We are beyond thankful to the children, families, and staff of Park West Cooperative Nursery School for their ongoing support and recent donation of comfort care kit items. Every item donated helps a child know that they are not alone. It's so inspiring to see compassion shared at such a young age. Thank you Park West community for helping to take care of all of Esther's pediatric inpatient friends across Chicago!

Acts of kindness, big and small, make a meaningful difference in the lives of the families we serve. So we want to say a huge thank you to the students and families of St. Paul Lutheran School for their BIG act of kindness with their recent donation of comfort care kit items! These thoughtful supplies will brighten the days of so many children during difficult times. We are so grateful for a community that continues to show kindness through action. Thank you for making a real difference - one care kit at a time.

There is something powerful about placing a book directly into a young child's hands - especially when that child is in the hospital. We are honored to have delivered over 300 board books to hospitalized children, helping bring comfort and distraction during difficult days. Esther loved books, so sharing something that brought her such joy and seeing these books reach the hands of young children who need them most - that is what it is all about. Thank you for making this possible!

Drop off days are always the best! Thank you to everyone who donates and supports our mission. Together we're able to bring a little extra comfort and light into hospital rooms across Chicagoland. Brightening the days of children is what it is all about!
