Our Mission

HurriKanen’s Kids is organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, and education purposes in order to enrich the lives of families affected by pediatric cancer with a goal of eradicating it. Hurrikanen's Kids 5 year strategic aim is to be able to expand support to families nationwide & contribute to medical & holistic treatment research. 

In 2020 during the launch of HurriKanen’s Kids we look forward to holding events to raise money for assisting families and assisting research. We will also offer resources and classes to keep families educated and up to date on clinical trials and navigational information that will make their experience a little easier when it comes to childhood cancer and treatment.

Hurrikanen’s Welcome Bags

In 2023

, these backpacks are going to be filled with lots of things newly diagnosed pediatric cancer families need and some things that brought Kanen & his family comfort during his journey.

For us to fill each backpack with essentials and small comforts for families we need to raise $130 per bag! We hope to eventually add tools like iPads and smartbooks for each family as they are truly a lifeline for families in treatment. The more funding we raise the more resources we can connect families to!

Kinley Welcome Bags

We are in the process of launching our “Hurrikanen’s Welcome Bags” program. Eventually we would like to be in other hospitals but for now we are focused on CHOP. In each of these backpacks we would include a brochure, inside which there would be a list of parents who would be interested in acting as a mentor/navigational patient advocate. We will include their number and email. These are parents who have already been through treatment and have great advice to give on how to survive treatment.

We will also include an application for which they can fill out and submit to their social workers to apply for gas/bill assistance. We will also include a blanket, a water bottle, chapstick, earbuds, iTunes cards, amazon gift cards, socks, beanie, his book, a little toiletry bag including- lotion, aquaphor, bandaids, shampoo, conditioner, tylenol, activity book, pens, legos, gloves, snacks, composition journals, and more upon what parents are currently asking for.
