Hearts of Hope: Delivering Moments of Care

Event story

The Hearts of Hope journey reached a quiet and meaningful moment at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Hearts for Hope Boxes were delivered to pediatric oncology patients spending Valentine’s Day in treatment spaces and clinic rooms. There were no announcements and no expectations. Just small boxes, carefully prepared, arriving where they were needed most.

Each box carried handwritten messages of encouragement and thoughtfully chosen items, created by people who paused to imagine the child receiving them. For some families, it was a brief smile in the middle of a long day. For others, it was a reminder that even outside the hospital walls, people were holding them in their thoughts.

Kyra believed that care lives in small, human gestures. What unfolded yesterday reflected that belief. The delivery was gentle, respectful, and deeply intentional, aligned with the quiet strength shown every day by children and families navigating cancer treatment.

As we move forward, these moments stay with us. They remind us that hope does not need to be loud to be felt. Sometimes, it arrives quietly, right when it is needed.
