Hearts for Hope Workshop at Microsoft

Event story

What an incredible day of compassion, creativity, and care at Hearts for Hope. Microsoft employees came together with open hearts and steady hands to create something deeply meaningful for children fighting cancer.

During this one-hour workshop, teams designed handmade Valentine-themed Kindness Cards and assembled Hearts for Hope Boxes, each one thoughtfully prepared for a pediatric cancer patient at Seattle Children’s Hospital and Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Every message written and every box packed carried a reminder that even in the hardest moments, kindness can travel far.

Kyra believed in finding light on even the darkest days. Today, that belief came to life through small but powerful acts of care. Volunteers asked thoughtful questions, took time with each card, and poured intention into every detail, knowing that these boxes would soon reach children spending Valentine’s Day in the hospital.

Because of this collective effort, hope is now on its way to children who need it most. We are deeply grateful to the Microsoft community for giving their time, creativity, and compassion to make this possible. This is what care looks like in action, and this is how community shows up when it matters.
