A Summer OF CREATING MOMENTS OF JOY, CONNECTION & HOPE

September 15, 2026

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible donors. Your generosity is a beacon of light for families facing some of their darkest hours, and we are profoundly grateful that you have chosen to support our mission here at BFF. Because of your kindness and continued support, we were able to provide more than $15,000 in donations to families this summer. What an incredible reminder of what is possible when our community comes together to lift one another up. We are so grateful to have you alongside us on this journey.

Finding Stillness in the Austrian Alps

Experience Made Possible 01

We were able to introduce a wonderful family to the Austrian Alps after the devastating death of their child, giving them something they so desperately needed: time away in nature and the space to simply breathe.  Surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and landscape far from home, they were able to step away from the weight of what they've been carrying, reconnect with one another, and find moments of strength, stillness, and peace.

A Peaceful Escape on the Island of Kauai

Experience Made Possible 01

One recipient and her family were able to take a much needed break between treatments and travel to the beautiful island of Kauai for their dream vacation.

After facing years of rigorous medical treatment for stage 4 breast cancer, this time together offered their family a chance to slow down, be present, and create beautiful memories in a place they had dreamed of visiting together.  Shortly after returning home, she entered hospice care, and its with heavy hearts we share that she passed away peacefully on Friday, September 11, surrounded by her family.

If you feel so inclined, you can support her family directly through their GoFundMe page using the link below.
