☀️ MEET OUR FOUNDER ☀️

Hi, I’m Annie — founder and president of Cali Kids Medical Foundation. 💛

I started Cali Kids in 2016 after my own family experienced firsthand how much a child’s medical journey affects the entire family.

What began as a desire to bring a little comfort and joy to families during difficult days grew into something much bigger than I ever imagined. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some truly incredible children, parents, and siblings — celebrating victories with them, walking beside them through hard seasons, and watching many of our little warriors grow up.

Cali Kids has always been about more than a care package. It’s about bringing comfort to a child fighting their biggest battle and the family beside them.

After a long pause, I’m incredibly grateful to be returning to this work and excited for what this next chapter will bring.

There are care packages to deliver, meals to share, memories to make, and a whole lot of sunshine waiting to be spread. ☀️💛

I’m so happy to be back.
— Annie

🎗️ **TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE SURVIVORS** 💛

Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a time to remember. To educate. To advocate.

But it is also a time to **celebrate**.

Over the years, Cali Kids has watched incredible young warriors endure surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, hospital stays, procedures, scans, and countless difficult days.

And we've had the incredible privilege of watching many of them come out the other side.

We've celebrated good scans.

We've celebrated final treatments.

We've celebrated bells being rung.

And we've watched little warriors grow into teenagers and young adults. 💛

Today we celebrate every Cali Kids warrior who fought cancer and survived.

Every milestone matters.

Every birthday matters.

Every ordinary day matters.

And seeing our warriors grow up is one of the greatest gifts of all.

**To our survivors: we see you, we celebrate you, and we will always be cheering you on.** 🎗️💛

September is Sickle Cell Awareness Month. ❤️

For families living with Sickle Cell Disease, awareness means more than knowing the name—it means understanding the pain, complications, strength, and resilience that can be part of everyday life.

This month, we’re proud to stand with our Warrior Princess Phoenix and the entire Sickle Cell community as we help raise awareness, encourage understanding, and honor the incredible warriors and families navigating SCD every day.

Swipe through to learn a few simple facts about Sickle Cell Disease.

☀️ MEET CALI KIDS ☀️

Whether you're new here or have been part of our Cali Kids family for years, we'd love to reintroduce ourselves. 💛

Cali Kids Medical Foundation is a San Diego nonprofit supporting children and families navigating the challenges of childhood illness and hospitalization.

We believe that when a child is sick, the entire family is affected.
Parents spend countless hours at bedsides. Siblings adjust to changing routines and time apart. Families juggle appointments, hospital stays, work, school, meals, and everyday life — all while carrying the emotional weight of having a child who is sick.
That's why Cali Kids has always focused on the whole family.

Our goal is simple: provide practical support, emotional connection, and moments of joy during some of life's hardest seasons. We do this through our four meaningful programs.

☀️ Emotional Fitness
Helping children build healthy coping skills, emotional strength, and resilience.

🍴 Isaac's Kitchen
Providing meals and a little extra care for families navigating a child's medical journey.

💛 Care Packages
Hospital Survival Kits, Sunshine Deliveries, Sibling Gifts, NICU support, and thoughtful surprises designed to brighten difficult days.

🎉 Family Events & Experiences
Creating opportunities for families to step away from hospitals and appointments, have fun together, and make meaningful memories.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing more about each of these programs as we begin bringing them back to our community.

Because sometimes support looks like a meal.
Sometimes it's a care package.
Sometimes it's someone saying, "We see you."
And sometimes it's simply giving a family the opportunity to laugh, connect, and make a memory that has nothing to do with medicine.
That's Cali Kids. ☀️💛

Creating moments of joy in the middle of medical journeys.

🎗️ FOREVER OUR WARRIORS 💛

Some children leave footprints on your heart that time can never erase.

Today, during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we remember five very special Cali Kids warriors:

💛 Isaac
💛 Soraya
💛 Jason
💛 Jojo
💛 Joshua

Five incredible children. Five stories that mattered. Five lives that will always be part of the Cali Kids story.

We remember their smiles.
Their courage.
Their personalities.
Their strength.
The people who loved them.
And the joy they brought into this world.

Childhood cancer took far too much, far too soon.
But it will never take their place in our hearts.

We carry them with us as Cali Kids begins this next chapter — and we will continue fighting for moments of joy, support, connection, and hope for the children and families who come after them.

Always remembered. Always loved. Forever our warriors. 🎗️💛

Two years ago, we were preparing to send Warrior Princess Phoenix and her family on a magical Disneyland adventure. Thanks to the generosity of Points of Light, the family had been gifted Disneyland tickets, and together with our amazing community, we raised enough to help cover parking and a meal.

But just days before their trip, Phoenix was hospitalized again.
Because the tickets had an expiration date, her family wasn't able to use them. Rather than let them go to waste, we gifted the tickets to another deserving warrior family who was able to enjoy them before they expired.

When that happened, we made Phoenix a promise:
One day, we would get her to Disneyland.

Although Cali Kids took a long pause over the past two years, we never forgot that promise.

Now that we're reopening, there's no better way to begin this next chapter than by fulfilling it.

This time, we don't have donated tickets—we're raising funds to make the entire trip possible. Every dollar will help cover Disneyland tickets, a hotel stay, meals, treats, and a few special souvenirs for Phoenix, her two brothers, and her parents.

We truly believe it takes a village, and we know our Cali Kids community has always been something special.

With your help, we can finally make this long-overdue Disney adventure a reality for one incredible, patient, resilient warrior princess. 💛🏰✨

Two years later, we're ready to keep that promise.
