A Kid Again - Texas

There’s something special about summer at A Kid Again.

For many families caring for a child with a life-threatening condition, calendars are often filled with appointments, treatments, and uncertainty. Summer can feel less like a season of freedom and more like one more thing to navigate.

But your donation helps change that.

When you give to A Kid Again, you help create cost-free Adventures where families can step away from medical routines and simply be together.

Because every child deserves a summer filled with joy, excitement and time to just be a kid.

“...90% of children with his condition do not live to see their 5th birthday.”

For Wyatt, living with a rare neurodegenerative disease means blood draws, uncomfortable medical tests, and being on a special diet that limits him to only 10g of carbohydrates per day.

No Halloween candy. No treats at special events. Not even birthday cake at his own party.

But through A Kid Again, Wyatt and his family can feel a sense of normalcy. They can celebrate without worrying about things like ADA accommodations, food allergies, or judgmental stares.

“When we arrive at an Adventure, we know our family is welcomed and accepted exactly as we are. That changes everything.”

You can help create a safe space for families raising kids with life-threatening conditions. Donate now through the link below.

Motherhood looks different for every family.

For A Kid Again moms, motherhood can mean packing snacks, sunscreen, medications, and medical equipment all at once. Motherhood can mean balancing everyday moments with appointments, treatments, and uncertainty while still finding ways to create joy along the way.

Today, we honor the mothers and mother figures who love fiercely, advocate endlessly, and continue showing up with incredible strength every single day. You are seen, appreciated, and extraordinary. 🧡

Happy Mother's Day. Tag a mother or mother figure you're thankful for.

What does a “good day” look like for you?

To A Kid Again families, "good days" may look a little different. A day without treatment. A day without appointments. A day without worry.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is "More Good Days, Together.”

“A Kid Again has been a huge positive in our lives. These events remind us that we are not alone. He can literally be just that — a kid again.”

A Kid Again Adventures are there to create more days where kids can be kids. More days where siblings feel connected. And more days where parents can take a deep breath.

The impact goes beyond creating fun memories. In a recent study with The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, 92% of participants across caregivers, child, and siblings, reported a strong improvement in emotional well-being from attending A Kid Again Adventures.

You can help create more good days for families raising kids with life-threatening conditions by donating today. Click the link below to get started.

At A Kid Again, this is what feeling truly seen can look like for a family living with cystic fibrosis:

“My husband asked me when we were walking in, ‘Wait… how will we know if any other CFers are here?’ (People with cystic fibrosis are only contagious to each other.)
We saw a basket of buttons that said ‘CF Warrior.’ I have never felt so seen, so welcomed, so at ease. Someone thought of that so I wouldn’t have to worry. So that I could just be a kid again.”

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month. 💙

For families living with CF, the world often requires extra caution, extra planning, and carries a weight that others don’t always see. Moments like this matter more than words can express.

At A Kid Again, it’s not just about creating fun. It’s about creating spaces where families feel safe, understood, and free to simply enjoy being together.

This month, you can help create more of these moments for families who need them most, because childhood should be more than treatments.

Give today: https://my.akidagain.org/campaign/728947/donate?_gl=1*13zqqss*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3NzczOTY5ODAuQ2p3S0NBand0Y0hQQmhBREVpd0FXbzNzSnFiQWMxUmFPMjJVM2lvdEFEMmlKYWppWFJlMGc5cWt1OHoyUEtWazAtdTh0bWtsdDJiNHBob0NMbG9RQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTQ1MjA1Njk0MS4xNzcwMTUxNzk5

You show up. And something shifts.

A child smiles wider.
A sibling feels seen.
A parent gets to simply watch their kids be kids.

That kind of moment starts with people who choose to be there.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating volunteers like you who make it all possible.
What you give is more than time.
It’s joy that stays with families long after the day ends.

To help bring more joy to families raising kids with life-threatening conditions, sign up as a volunteer through the link below.

A Kid Again Adventures are family outings that provide never-thought-possible experiences year round for kids with life-threatening conditions and their families.

It doesn’t happen by accident.

Every laugh, every memory, every moment that feels “normal” again… it starts with people who show up at every Adventure.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re grateful for volunteers like you who make space for joy when families need it most.

Because of you, kids get to just be kids.
And families get something they can hold onto.

That matters more than you know.

Thank you.

You sign up for a shift.
A few hours on your calendar.
A chance to help.

But somewhere between welcoming families and jumping in where you’re needed, it becomes more than that.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating the volunteers who make space for moments like these.

What you give is time.
What families get is so much more.

Thank you for being there.

You show up, not knowing exactly what the day will hold.

Maybe you’re helping check families in.
Maybe you’re handing out wristbands.

And then you see it.
A child laughing without holding back.
A sibling right beside them.
A parent watching it all, taking a breath they didn’t know they needed.

But days like this don’t just happen.

They happen because people show up.

During National Volunteer Week, we’re celebrating volunteers like you who make these moments possible.

You give a few hours.
Families get something they’ll carry with them long after the day ends.
Thank you for showing up.
