  • I feel that meeting other kids online and virtually that have gone through some of the same experiences that Jocelyn has made her feel not so alone in her journey and the experience of being apart of a community that continues to support kids even after cancer treatments have finished is extremely beneficial for kids like Jocelyn.

  • Hearing from all of the kids and their parents saying how much they loved this experience and how important this was! They looked forward to coming back every day!
