Help Us Fill Camp Willow’s Light.

Imagine being a child who has lost someone you love and finding a weekend where you don't have to explain how you feel.

A weekend where other kids understand.

A weekend filled with laughter, connection, memories and hope.

That's what Camp Willow's Light is all about.

Join us November 6–8 in Myrtle Beach, SC, where campers and their caregivers will come together for a special weekend of healing—including a memorable experience at Ripley’s Aquarium.

If you know a child or family who has experienced a loss, please share this post with them.

Sometimes, the right post at the right time can reach the family who needs it most.

Help us spread the word.

Give the Gift of Hope This Holiday Season.

The holidays can be especially difficult for families facing the loss of a loved one.

Through Gifts of Hope, you can make the holidays a little brighter for a pediatric hospice patient and/or their family by helping us provide gifts to them for the holiday season.

Your generosity can remind a child and their family that they are not alone and that someone cares.

One family. One Christmas. One incredible act of kindness.

Let's make this holiday season brighter together.

A Place to Heal, Remember & Simply Be a Kid Again

Camp Willow’s Light is coming November 6–8 in Myrtle Beach, SC, and we are preparing for a very special weekend at Ripley’s Aquarium for children and families who have experienced the loss of someone they love.

This special camp gives children ages 5–18 and their caregivers a safe place to:

* Connect with others who understand
* Remember and honor their loved one
* Laugh, play and make new memories
* Receive support while surrounded by compassion

Camp Willow’s Light was created in memory of a pediatric patient, Willow, whose light, laughter and love touched so many lives.

We want to make sure families who could benefit from this experience know about Camp.

Know a family who may need this? Please share this post or encourage them to learn more and apply.

Together, we can help keep Willow’s light shining. ✨

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

This is what hope looks like.

At The Carnation Foundation, we believe hospice care is about more than caring for a patient.

It’s about caring for the whole family.

Patient Fund — Helping hospice patients facing financial hardships.

Camp Willow’s Light — Giving grieving children and families a safe place to heal.

Hope Angels — People like YOU who choose to step forward and make a difference.

And this year, we’ve already provided more than 520 grants to hospice patients facing hardship.

There is still so much work to do.

Together, we can provide more than assistance. We can provide hope.

What does your donation actually do?

It can help a hospice patient who is facing financial hardship.

It can help a family create a meaningful moment together.

It can give a grieving child a place to heal at Camp Willow’s Light.

It can put Christmas presents under the tree for a child receiving hospice care.

It can remind a family that their community cares.

This year alone, The Carnation Foundation has provided more than 520 grants to hospice patients experiencing hardship.

That is what generosity looks like.

Your gift becomes hope.

Support The Carnation Foundation and help us continue being there for patients, families, and children when they need us most.

One family helping another.

Every grant has a story.

More than 520 hospice patients have received support from The Carnation Foundation this year while facing hardships that no family should have to navigate alone.

But we don’t see numbers.

We see people.

We see spouses trying to hold everything together.

We see parents worried about their children.

We see families making impossible choices.

And we see the power of a helping hand at exactly the right moment.

The Carnation Foundation exists to provide hope, help, and dignity when families need it most.

Your support allows us to say, again and again: “We’re here. You’re not alone.”

Grief doesn’t end when the funeral does.

For children and families who have lost someone they love, learning how to live with grief can be one of life’s greatest challenges.

That’s why The Carnation Foundation created Camp Willow’s Light a special bereavement camp designed to give children and families a safe place to grieve, connect, heal, and discover that they are not alone.

At Camp Willow’s Light, we create space for memories, laughter, tears, friendship, and hope.

Because grief deserves support.
Because children deserve to be heard.
Because healing happens together.

Help us keep the light shining for families walking through loss.
