Isla Cares Foundation

Isla Cares Foundation EIN: 99-3546996 On August 29, 2022, we brought our 18-month-old daughter, Isla, to walk-in hours at our pediatrician's office. Thank you for your partnership!

Isla Cares Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that encourages children battling cancer in KC and supports their families through personalized care packages. After some quick lab work, we were sent to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City where they told us they suspected cancer. She was officially diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and was in surgery to place

her port for treatment the very next day. Our brave girl has been battling Leukemia ever since and is scheduled to complete treatment in December of 2024. Throughout Isla's fight, we have been abundantly blessed by family members, friends, co-workers, and local organizations. Meals, prayers, thoughtful gifts, and financial aid have truly helped lessen some of the burden cancer has brought to our lives. Their kindness and generosity inspired us to establish the Isla Cares Foundation. Isla Cares supports and encourages children with cancer and their families through personalized care packages. Our care packages are filled with gift cards, comfort items, and toys and activities that can easily be brought to the hospital. Learning that your child has cancer is devastating but with your help, we hope to bring a light to families in the depths of their child’s fight.

Happy 4th birthday, Jameson!! 🥳🎉

This ping pong–loving little guy is turning FOUR today! We hope your day is full of fun, laughter, and all the McDonald’s fries your heart desires, buddy 🍟💙

It’s been a little over a year since we delivered his care package (swipe to see!). Since then, Jameson has been bravely battling kidney cancer. He completed treatment once, but at the start of this year, he faced a relapse. Right now, he’s halfway through his second round of treatment—and still showing up with incredible strength and the best attitude. His mom says he’s in good spirits… a true superhero in every sense 🦸🏼‍♂️

Let’s help make his birthday extra special by sending lots of love, encouragement, and prayers his way as he keeps fighting! 🎂🙏🏼🩵

Happy birthday, Raevyn! 🍒

Today is her 14th birthday! She loves drawing, Strawberry Shortcake, Barbies, and slime. Raevyn’s joy and positivity is truly inspiring, especially as she bravely fights relapsed acute myeloblastic leukemia.

Her family is walking through an incredibly difficult time, with a prognosis that’s both devastating and uncertain. Her mom is asking for prayers as Raevyn continues her fight. Help us pray for more time, less side effects, more healing, and for finding happiness in every day they have. ❤️‍🩹

⭐️ Meet Kyson ⭐️

Kyson is 3 years old and has recently begun his fight against Burkitt’s lymphoma. Kyson loves Hot Wheels, dinosaurs, Bluey, fishing, and spending time with his farm animals.

From our own experience with toddlers in treatment, we know how important distraction can be during those long days in the hospital. The smallest things — a new toy car, a dinosaur puzzle, a sticker book of their favorite characters, play-doh, or something fun and exciting to open — can really save the day.

We hope this care package brings Kyson plenty of smiles and moments where he gets to just be a kid. 💙

Kyson, we see your bravery. You have so many people rooting for you, praying for you, and standing beside you in this fight. 🎗️

This care package was created for Bodie, a 15-year-old ALL warrior with a love for engineering, robotics, card games, reading, and the outdoors. Each item was chosen to bring a little fun, comfort, and encouragement while reminding him that so many people are cheering him on. Keep fighting, Bodie — you’ve got a whole team behind you. 🎗️

Happy birthday, Jude! 🥳

This courageous cancer fighter turns 16 today! He loves zombies, guitar, and early 2000's rock music. When we first met Jude, he was facing some tough side effects and secondary illnesses from his chemo treatments. But his mom recently shared the amazing news that he's recovering and is finally back home after a 21-day hospital stay. 'Resilient' doesn't even begin to describe him - Jude, you're a true rockstar! 🤘🏼 We're sending you all the birthday love and positive vibes.
