🎃🧡 Thank you to Meghan’s Mission Inc for hosting such an incredible Halloween Table Treating event!

Six amazing nonprofit organizations came together to bring a little Halloween magic to the children in all of the pediatric units at Bernard & Millie Duker Children’s Hospital! 👻🍬

Each organization had its own table filled with goodies to help spread smiles, happiness, and a little extra joy to children who deserve it most.

Although we were unfortunately unable to attend in person, The Lucas’ Army Foundation was honored to participate by providing goodie bags for the children to enjoy! 🧡

It is truly heartwarming to see so many organizations come together for one common purpose — bringing joy to children and families facing some of life’s toughest battles.

A huge thank you to Meghan’s Mission for including us and making this wonderful event possible! We are grateful to have been a small part of something so special. 🎃💛

💛🎗️ Four Newly Diagnosed Families in September 🎗️💛

During the month of September, four more children were diagnosed with cancer at The Melodies Center.

Thanks to our incredible supporters, Lucas’ Army Foundation was able to send each family a little love and support during one of the most difficult times of their lives.

💛 Each family received:

* A heartfelt letter of encouragement and support
* A Stewart’s gas gift card to help with transportation to and from treatments
* A DoorDash gift card to help take one worry off their plate by providing a meal

A childhood cancer diagnosis changes everything in an instant. While we cannot take away the fear, pain, or uncertainty these families are facing, we hope these small gestures remind them that they are not alone.

Every envelope we send carries more than just gift cards. It carries love, compassion, hope, and a reminder that an entire army is standing behind them.

💛🧡 Today, Lucas’ Army Foundation had the pleasure of meeting two more amazing patients at The Melodies Center! 🎗️

There is something so special about witnessing firsthand the excitement on a child’s face as they get to pick out their very own weighted stuffed animal. 🦕💕

For a moment, the worries of cancer treatments are replaced with smiles, excitement, and a little bit of comfort.

These are the moments that remind us exactly why we started Lucas’ Army Foundation. What may seem like a simple stuffed animal can mean so much more to a child facing something no child should ever have to endure.

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and makes moments like these possible.

🧡🦕 More Weighted Dinos are on their way to The Melodies Center! 💛🎗️

Every newly diagnosed child receives a special Weighted Dino from Lucas’ Army Foundation.

These Dinos are more than just stuffed animals. They provide comfort, security, and something to hold onto during some of the scariest moments of a child’s life.

Each Dino comes with a Lucas’ Army Foundation wristband and foundation card, letting families know they are not alone and that an entire Army is standing behind them. 💛

Lucas found comfort in his own weighted Dino throughout his cancer journey. Now, in his memory, we hope to bring that same sense of comfort to other children beginning their fight.

🎨 A special thank you to Tami-Lynn for generously donating arts and crafts, including kaleidoscope animal posters and race cars to paint! These thoughtful gifts will give the children a chance to be creative, have fun, and enjoy a little distraction from treatments and hospital visits.

It’s the little things that can make such a big difference in the lives of these children. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Lucas’ Army and helps us spread comfort, love, and smiles to children battling cancer.

Forever 12. Forever making a difference. 🧡🎗️

Meet Jawan 💛

In May, at just 4 years old, Jawan’s world changed when he was diagnosed with DIPG, a devastating and aggressive brain tumor. Since that day, he has faced chemotherapy and radiation with more courage than any child should ever have to show.

Now 5 years old, Jawan is still full of life, personality, and smiles.

Lucas’ Army was honored to surprise him with a brand-new 4-wheeler.

For Jawan, this was so much more than a gift. It was a chance to leave treatment behind for a little while, feel the excitement of being a kid, and make memories filled with laughter and adventure.

These moments matter. They give children something joyful to hold onto in the middle of an incredibly difficult journey.

Because of our amazing supporters, Lucas’ Army is able to create moments like this for children like Jawan—bringing comfort, hope, and happiness while continuing Lucas’ legacy of love and kindness. 🎗️🧡

During the month of August, Lucas’ Army supported 4 newly diagnosed patients and their families. 💛🎗️

Each family is receiving an envelope with a heartfelt letter of support, a gas gift card to help with transportation to and from treatment, and an Amazon gift card to help with everyday essentials.

A childhood cancer diagnosis changes everything in an instant, and we want these families to know they have an army standing behind them from the very beginning.

Thank you to all of our incredible supporters for making this possible. Every donation, fundraiser, share, and act of support allows us to continue helping families when they need it most.

A huge THANK YOU to Amy and everyone at Metabolic - Colonie for hosting such an incredible Sweat for a Cause event benefiting The Lucas’ Army Foundation! 💛🎗️

Together, you raised an amazing $1,135 for Lucas’ Army!

This donation will go directly toward supporting children battling cancer and their families with things they truly need during treatment — whether that means gas cards for long trips to appointments, grocery or meal assistance, help with everyday expenses, comfort items, or special surprises that bring a little joy during some of the hardest days imaginable.

$1,135 is more than just a number. It means less worry for families, more comfort for kids, and a reminder that they are not fighting alone.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who showed up, worked hard, donated, and supported our mission. Thank you for helping us continue Lucas’ legacy by providing support, comfort, and hope to local pediatric cancer families. 💛
