Who We Are & Why We’re Here

Kyra’s Hope Foundation was created in honor of Kyra, a bright, imaginative, endlessly loving twelve-year-old whose joy touched everyone around her. When Kyra was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in September 2023, our family was suddenly navigating hospital rooms, treatments, fear, and exhaustion. She fought this battle with extraordinary courage for more than three years before becoming an angel in November 2025.

Through it all, Kyra remained curious, compassionate, and full of light, always finding ways to make others smile even on her hardest days. Her journey revealed a truth no family should face alone. Children and caregivers need far more than medical care. They need comfort, rest, moments of joy, and a community that understands their pain.

We witnessed parents stretched thin, siblings feeling overlooked, and families overwhelmed emotionally and financially. We also learned how profoundly underfunded pediatric cancer research is, and how many treatments children still receive are decades old.

Kyra deserved better. All children do.

Her laughter, strength, and love inspired us to create something that would carry her light forward. Today, Kyra’s Hope Foundation works to bring joy, comfort, and connection to children battling cancer, while supporting research that may one day lead to better treatments and brighter futures.

This foundation is our promise that Kyra’s spirit will continue to shine on families who need hope the most.
