Encouraging the courageous hearts of families battling childhood cancer. The journey is like Disney World’s Space Mountain roller coaster.

Having a child with cancer carries so many hardships that are seemingly impossible to describe to other parents who have not experienced it. You are instantly thrust into a dark unknown. Everything is zooming by so quickly that you can’t even absorb what is happening or comprehend where you are or how you got there. With so many unforeseen twists and turns, you just hold tight and wait for the hopeful light to the signal you have made it to the end of the ride. The purpose of our non-profit is to provide support to these families and ease their daily living. When your child is diagnosed with cancer, it becomes your LIFE. Your days are consumed with juggling doctor’s appointments, lab draws, treatment, convincing your child to swallow numerous pills, being prepared to run to the ER at the drop of a hat, managing the anxieties and whirlwind of emotions of your child and other family members, and trying to balance attention to your other children, all while maintaining some sort of normalcy. Kiger Cares' mission is to relieve some of these stresses, help with some of the daily tasks that become difficult to manage, and provide outreach to create some special family moments and connections with other childhood cancer families. THANK YOU for helping make Kiger Cares a reality and providing these families invaluable support through their unexplainably difficult journey.

Sometimes meeting a need takes more than one person or organization. It takes partnership. 💛

We’re honored to partner with Kiger Cares during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month as they work to provide 75 diagnosis care packages for children and families facing childhood cancer.

Kiger Cares is raising funds for the infusion backpacks, while Operation Eagles Rising is helping provide the essential items that go inside them.

Different organizations. Different roles. One goal — to remind a child and their family that they are not alone. 💛🎗️

This is what it looks like when we come together to meet a need.

A need arises. We rise to meet it.
Because sometimes help can’t wait. 🦅💛

If you'd like to be part of helping us reach all 75, send us a message or follow along as we continue this campaign.

If you’d like to be a part of filling the diagnosis care packages with all the other essential items, please check out our Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/N2AX7OWKM9CR?ref_=wl_share

Please help us show these families that they are not in this alone and that Kiger Cares! Providing these families with these essential needs is a huge stress relief to not have to run around and purchase them before being discharged from the hospital, plus allows them to keep the attention and care on where it’s needed - their child.

We are on our way towards our goal of packaging 75 diagnosis care packages! 💛🎗🐯

We have partnered with an incredible non-profit Operation Eagles Rising, Inc. who is leading the way with fundraising to purchase the infusion backpacks, but we are asking our Kiger Cares family here to help support with purchasing all the essential "fillers".

This month, in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, will you please give what you can to support these families going through an indescribable hardship at one of the most pivotal moments - diagnosis?

These families are equally appreciative for all forms of giving - praying, sharing, liking, following, purchasing items through our Amazon Wish List, or donating on our website.

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported our goal thus far! These gifts truly make a significant difference for these families.

Our family went through multiple styles and brands of thermometers to find one that was consistent and gave us confidence in the readings. Considering the emergent situation, it is critical for childhood cancer families to have a reliable thermometer.

If you would like to contribute to our goal of including a thermometer into each our diagnosis care packages, please visit our Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/N2AX7OWKM9CR?ref_=wl_share

Press N Seal - seems like an odd item to add into a Diagnosis Care Package, but it is the best trick for holding a glob of lidocaine cream on the port, while being gentle on the skin.

30 minutes of lidocaine cream and a deep breath before accessing the port significantly helps to relieve pain and anxiety for the child.

We are still in need of 75 to reach our goal this month in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

If you would like to support providing this item please visit our Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/N2AX7OWKM9CR?ref_=wl_share

This is what a child looks like 3 days before being diagnosed with cancer.

He had been fighting a fever for a couple of weeks, but Motrin did the trick every time to perk up his spirits; you’d never know he was sick. Twice, the doctors determined it was just a virus.

I vividly remember giggling in this moment, as our son began ROARING in the mirror like his favorite Avenger, the Hulk. BUT that moment of joy was fleeting as an image of him roaring - BALD - flashed before my eyes, and I knew.

I immediately called the doctor to request the results of his recent bloodwork. They sent them over and transferred me to a nurse who gave me the run around, saying they were waiting for a referral to a “hematologist” (side note - this is a combined specialty of Hematology/Oncology). I cut straight to the point and asked “Does the doctor think he has leukemia?”. She was shocked and could no longer hide the truth of their suspicion.

As we waited for the appointment, I woke up in the middle of the night and franticly took his temperature, which read 107F (that’s not a typo), as he sleepily muttered, “Momma help me”. Those words still haunt me. We bolted to the ER and were told he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The world of our once naive, adventurous, young family was turned upside down and changed forever.

This is why Kiger Cares. This is why we want childhood cancer to hear us ROAR!! Every families’ story is different, but there is one constant across all childhood cancer diagnoses; it is an instant indescribable, unimaginable heartbreak.

Please help us to raise awareness and support the families with children still being diagnosed everyday.

Wanting to know how to help? Stay tuned for an announcement coming soon!

The BIG reveal of our Diagnosis Care Package!! 🎗️💛🐯

Most items are self-explanatory, but we would like to highlight a few:
1) Having a reliable thermometer is crucial, as any fever requires a rush to the ER and possible hospitalization. Our family went through at least 5 different thermometers before we found one that gave us confident results.
2) Press N Seal is the best trick for sealing lidocaine cream over the port prior to being accessed for treatment. It is a scary and difficult moment for kids, but this makes a huge difference to relieve some pain.
3) Treatment plans have recently changed to include a period of 24/7 chemotherapy for leukemia patients, so the infusion backpack provides freedom for kids to keep on the move.
4) The pocket hug, includes a tiger eye worry stone and a heartfelt message from Kiger Cares.

This care package was the dream that began Kiger Cares 4 years ago with the goal to ease even an ounce of stress for childhood cancer families, by providing essentials needed prior to being discharged. We are beyond excited to add this care package as another avenue in supporting these families!
