This young man is one of our recent recipients. Drew needed a bit of an upgrade for his cell phone, so he now has a much more recent iPhone. We hope it keeps him connected to his friends and family and provides him with some entertainment while undergoing treatment. We wish him and his family the very best and hope they enjoy the upcoming holiday season!

If you'd like to help others like Drew, your donations are greatly appreciated! https://www.CheersFromEmily.org

Imagine being a child stuck in a hospital room for days or weeks, feeling isolated from friends and normal life. 🏥💔 For kids bravely battling cancer, this is a daily reality.

At Cheers From Emily, we know that a simple tablet is more than just a gadget. It's a lifeline. It's a way to play games, connect with family, keep up with school, and just be a kid again for a little while. It brings laughter, joy, and a crucial sense of normalcy to a tough situation. 😊🎮

This , you have the power to deliver that joy. Your donation will go directly toward providing tablets and electronic gifts to children in hospitals across the country.

Let's band together to bring cheers to these amazing warriors! Our goal today is to fund 10 new tablets. Can you help us make it happen?

We would like to congratulate our friend Bobby Marcotte for his 3-peat championship at Guy’s Grocery Games with Guy Fieri . Bobby, a childhood cancer survivor himself, is a big childhood cancer advocate in honor of his daughter Allana, who lost her battle in 2014 at the age of 13. During the show he mentioned the wish to make sure she wasn't forgotten, a feeling all angel parents share. So we ask all our followers to say and remember her name, and keep her in your thoughts along with all our special warriors. 🎗️🎗️

Beyond the Beeping Machines

Think about the sounds of a hospital. The steady beep of a monitor, the quiet hum of machines, the soft footsteps in the hallway. For a child undergoing cancer treatment, these sounds can become the soundtrack to their entire world.

But a child’s world should be filled with laughter, the shouting of a game, the chatter of friends, and the bell ringing for recess. When a child is in the hospital, one of the toughest battles they fight isn't just against the illness—it's against the crushing boredom and the silence between treatments.

Their world shrinks to the size of a single room. The days are long, marked only by medical routines, tests, and waiting. The endless hours staring at the same four walls can take a heavy toll on a young spirit that’s meant to be running, playing, and exploring.

This is where we come in. This is where you can make a difference.

At Cheers From Emily, we believe that joy is a powerful medicine. We work to break up the monotony and bring moments of brightness and fun directly to these children. We want to replace the silence with the sound of play and the sight of a smile. A new video game to conquer, a creative art kit to unleash their imagination, or a funny movie to share with family can completely transform a long, dreary afternoon into an adventure.

We need your help to keep these moments coming.

Your donation, no matter the size, helps us deliver these packages of happiness. It allows us to give a child a much-needed escape and a reminder that they are more than just a patient.

Please consider donating to Cheers From Emily today. Let’s work together to fill the quiet hospital rooms with the joyful sounds a child is meant to hear. Let's bring them a reason to smile.

For Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we made a little something. Try it once, or twice, or as many times as you'd like.

This experience is designed to be educational and challenging, not entertaining. It contains themes that may be difficult for some. The goal is to build understanding and empathy for the children and families affected by this disease.

Two Classrooms. Every Single Day.

We tend to hear "childhood cancer" and think of it as a remote tragedy, something heartbreaking but exceedingly rare. But what if it's closer to home than we realize? Let's break down the numbers in a way that relates to our everyday lives in the U.S.

Each year, more than 15,000 children and teenagers in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. It's a big number, but it can be hard to grasp.

So, let's bring it into our communities. The average American elementary school classroom has about 23 students.

This means that every single day in this country, approximately 46 children are told they have cancer.

That's nearly two full classrooms of children whose lives, and the lives of their families, are turned upside down every 24 hours. Imagine two homeroom classes, with kids who should be worried about homework or friendships, now facing hospital visits, treatments, and an uncertain future. That happens today, it will happen tomorrow, and the day after.

Let's look at it another way. Think about a standard yellow school bus, which holds about 72 passengers. By the end of tomorrow, more children will have been diagnosed with cancer than can fit on that bus.

Over the course of a typical school week, from Monday to Friday, that's roughly 215 new diagnoses. That's more than the entire student body of a small elementary school.

Childhood cancer isn't a once-in-a-while event. It's a constant, daily battle being fought in neighborhoods just like yours. These aren't just statistics; they are children. They are students, athletes, artists, and friends who are missing from their classrooms and playgrounds.

At Cheers From Emily, we know that behind every number is a child and a family facing an unimaginable journey. By seeing the reality of how many lives are touched by this disease, we can understand the urgency of the fight. Let’s work together to support these kids and fund the research that will bring them back to their classrooms for good.
