We exist to foster hope, happiness and healing for families raising kids with life-threatening conditions.
About us
A Kid Again is dedicated to providing hope, happiness and healing for families raising children who are living with a life-threatening condition. What We Do! We make life for families caring for a child with a life-threatening illness “normal” again by helping them gain back moments of positive, family-shared experiences and memories. What is an A Kid Again Adventure? A chance to be a kid again; time away from the hospital; an opportunity to forget about being sick; a group experience to a local destination with tickets, food, parking, mementos, and memories to last until the next Adventure. Why We Do It! A Kid Again is specifically designed to involve the entire family (not just the child who is ill) to improve the well-being of everyone affected by the situation. This approach helps protect and strengthen the children’s primary support network and personal resolve during the most difficult period of their lives. Our Impact! 91% of families report improved emotional well being 86% of families say they are closer and stronger 85% of kids had enhanced feelings of hope

Of the hundreds of photos I took this Saturday at the A Kid Again Central Ohio Holiday Adventure, this is by far my favorite. The wonder of a child is beautiful. Seeing things through their eyes is fantastic. At A Kid Again, we are working tirelessly to give children with life-threatening illnesses the childhood they deserve. So proud of the team and our volunteers for the amazing Adventure they put on this past weekend. We couldn’t do these Adventures without the support of the community. As you think about your end of year giving, please consider helping us give families a time out at https://lnkd.in/ghWmWRtn. Thank you so much for your support!

Our friends at Nationwide were busy Elves this weekend at our Central Ohio Chapter Holiday Adventure. They took a moment to spread some holiday cheer in the gift distribution center. So many presents and so many smiles!

“We spend a lot of our time in a hospital or driving to doctor's appointments, and its chaos and a lot of medical stuff. So, it's really cool that we get to do these fun Adventures and be with all these amazing people.” - Annie's Mom. Thank you Maya Lockett with News 5 Cleveland for the great story capturing our Northern Ohio Chapter's Holiday Adventure! 💚 Christine Bucknell | Meghan Hawkins https://lnkd.in/erbv2FXc
