ANNUAL REPORT 2015 | 32 | FRIENDS OF KIDS WITH CANCER

A simple idea.Friends of Kids with Cancer has a proud 24-year history exclusively in St. Louis of helping kids with cancer…be kids. Jill Turec, Developmental Specialist at Mercy Clinic Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center, along with concerned parents, Molly Henry and Susie Snowden, saw the great need to enrich the daily lives and divert the attention of the patients outside of the medical treatments. These three women shared a dream that every child with cancer would experience as much fun, laughter, support and normalcy as possible. It was this idea that was the birth of Friends of Kids with Cancer. Starting in the office of Dr. Bob Bergamini in 1992, the inaugural program, The Big Shelf, now known as the Toy Closet, was launched to brighten the long gloomy and painful days spent in the treatment center.

From that day on, Friends has been driven to meet the ever-evolving needs of not only the patients but their entire families. Everything Friends does is suggested by medical professionals and patient families. Dr. Bob’s philosophy is to “treat the needs of the entire child…not only the cancer”. Friends is such an important and unique charity because it gives back something that medicine can’t. The Educational, Emotional and Recreational programs build self-esteem and improve the quality of life to assure that the patients and their families remain positive, focused and prepared to meet their future needs.

The glue.Friends of Kids with Cancer has a unique niche for the families of children battling cancer: the glue. Cancer doesn’t just fight the blood cells in a child’s body; it puts a strain on the entire family physically, mentally and financially. Fighting cancer is tough for everyone, but for a child with so little life experiences, as well as the social and emotional handicaps that accompany their treatment, make it extremely trying. Friends of Kids with Cancer is the glue that mends and holds together all of the devastating pieces cancer creates.

The power of positive thinking.Friends of Kids with Cancer doesn’t create miracles; those are left to modern medicine and the doctors and nurses who administer them. What we do, however, is create a positive frame of mind. Universally, being happy, positive and motivated makes every child more likely to succeed at whatever their goal happens to be. We believe the same applies here. Friends cultivates mental well being with programs that help children and their families fighting cancer, cope with the daily challenges they face, make the best out of the situation they are in, and most importantly, remember that they will not be robbed of their childhood.

Friends of Kids with Cancer

is devoted to enriching the

daily lives of children

undergoing treatment for,

and survivors of, cancer and

blood-related diseases.

OUR MISSION is to be an

advocate for these special kids

and provide them and their

families with the educational,

support needed as a result of

the long hours of chemotherapy,

illness and isolation.

Leaving a Legacy…. It makes a difference and assures our future.

“I have included my favorite charity, Friends of Kids with Cancer, in my trust as a Planned Giving Gift. I am so moved by all the tenderness, care and love that they provide every day to these very special kids and their families. As a former Board Member, Finance Committee Member and volunteer for the past 12 years, I know that my bequest will be carefully invested and managed to provide the best possible return to sustain and expand the “Mission” of this wonderful charity. After all, isn’t it all about enriching their daily lives and helping kids with cancer...be kids! I hope that you will join me and remember Friends of Kids with Cancer in your trust or will.”

Bob Nuelle

To all of our amazing “Friends,” We are so humbled that you have joined us in living our mission of helping kids with cancer...be kids! Your generosity gives our kids and their families the support and encouragement they need in the daily challenges they face throughout the year. We thank you for a remarkable 2015, and we are pleased to present our Annual Report documenting all of our achievements thanks to your support.

The “Friends” office receives wonderful thank you notes from our patients, as well as parents and friends of our families: “There couldn’t be a better organization out there for kids who need help and support to survive the battle with cancer! Keep up all of the hard work guys, and know that your ‘families’ appreciate it more than words can express! Thank you for all you do for our family! You have brought so many smiles!”

Your support goes beyond medicine.

• Our Educational Programs provide kids with the cost free assistance needed to develop self-esteem and educational motivation while combating the long-term cognitive effects caused by the severity of treatment.

• Our Emotional Programs provide a tool for our kids to communicate; even when words cannot suffice.

• Our Recreational Programs help to provide that priceless “smile!”

Our sincere appreciation to each of you for your continued support. Your generosity is overwhelming and we cherish each of you. Each year we are faced with expanding our programs to meet the demands of new children being diagnosed with cancer, or suffering from a relapse and/or late effects of treatment. You allow us to provide those services that are so very much needed to assist our kids. Each of you have brightened their lives more than you will ever know!

We personally thank each of you. You are Friends of Kids!

• Educational and Motivational Assistance• Educational Testing• Survivors’ Scholarships

W W W . F R I E N D S O F K I D S . O R G


Emotional – Our Emotional Programs instill confidence and help form therapeutic relationships, which assist in releasing these feelings through:

• Art Therapy• Support Groups• Psychological Services & Testing• Play Therapy

Friends of Kids with Cancer provides several different avenues for safely and effectively releasing the emotions and stress built-up in our patients, their siblings and families. It’s important to have positive options for patients and families to express their thoughts and feelings when words just don’t suffice.



Recreational – We provide patients and their families with uplifting experiences and memories to hold onto through:

Event/Game Tickets • End-of-Chemotherapy Parties • Parties for Patient Families • Toy Closets/Radiation Gifts • Special Assistance Gift Cards • Relapse Gifts • Transplant/End-of-Radiation Gifts • Memory and Smile Makers

Eats & Treats• Snacks/Special Meals• Grocery Assistance• Clinic Lunches• Ice Cream Socials

Friends of Kids with Cancer makes a bad day better. By creating a positive atmosphere, our Recreational Programs keep smiles on the kids’ faces every day despite their illnesses.
