We partnered with Lily's Pad to host a wellness event for warriors and their families. Kids played on Lily's hyper-clean play structure, made calm bottles and calm creatures, and took home a bag filled with wellness items. For parents, we offered sound healing, yoga, massage, and more. Deep gratitude to Lily's Pad and their generous team for hosting us in their wonderful space.

Another meaningful day of sharing meals and smiles with the incredible children and families at the hospital. We're grateful for every opportunity to remind them that they're never facing this journey alone — and to serve every meal with encouragement and hope.

We spent a wonderful morning with the National Charity League's Phoenix chapter this June. Over a hundred participants helped us make Warrior cards, bracelets, and calm bottles — small tokens of comfort for families facing childhood cancer. They also collected donations of gifts for kids and teens, plus supplies for No More Chemo Party Boxes. Thank you to everyone who showed up and helped spread hope.

We had the honor of celebrating with Saguaros Children's Charities as they marked a remarkable year of giving. In 2026, Saguaros donated $972,000 to children's charities across our community — a testament to the tireless dedication of this incredible organization. We're deeply grateful to be counted among the causes they support.

Navigating a child's life-threatening illness is an incredibly heavy path to walk — but you do not have to walk it alone. The AHRA Dads' Support Group offers a dedicated, safe space for fathers to connect, decompress, and find mutual support. Meeting every three weeks at the AHRA Center, this group is built on a foundation of brotherhood and understanding. You don't have to explain your fears or guard your feelings here — you are among peers who truly get it.

As some of our attendees shared:

“It's just nice to share my experiences with guys that understand what I'm dealing with.”

“I look forward to each meeting because I know I'm going to leave a better person.”

If a dad you know is looking for a community of men who stand shoulder-to-shoulder through life's hardest moments, we welcome you to join us at our next gathering.

Mindful Moms' Circle is a twice-monthly wellness program for mothers of children facing cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Through mindfulness, nervous system regulation, creative art, journaling, and meaningful conversation, moms build practical tools to manage stress, find resilience, and take a moment of care for themselves — in the midst of caring for everyone else.

As one mom shared:

“As a mom of 4 boys, life gets to be too much — trying to balance normal life with the complex care of our strong warriors. You look for understanding from someone who can grasp the fear and the exhausting moments of never knowing the outcome. Amanda Hope gives that to me and to our family. It's a safe place where we can drop our walls, be vulnerable for a moment, and know someone will be there to lift us right back up. We are not on our own.”
