We invite you to help us provide Brave Boxes to families. Since August 1st, we received 58 new nominated families! We have 144 total families, and in 2022, we grew by around 30 families. We need your help. We have 58 new families ready and waiting to receive their 1st Brave Box.
Each Brave Box values around $200. We are raising $15,000 to serve these new families and our existing families.
Our Mission
Brave Like Ellie is a nonprofit organization that serves families affected by childhood cancer at any stage of their journey. We provide families with Brave Boxes that include toys, activities, and hand-selected items to show Love to these families.
ENCOURAGE BRAVERY. INSPIRE JOY. PROVIDE COMFORT.
Beyond Our Mission
We want to provide connections with others who have the same or similar missions to bring awareness to these illnesses and how the children and families are impacted by these illnesses, while providing opportunities for us to live out our mission and bringing joy at any stage in their journey.
We customize each Brave Box we provide so that it is most meaningful to each person who receives it. We know that the family is impacted by a cancer diagnosis and so we support the family with Brave Boxes. Whether it be the Mom, Dad, or siblings, we aim to show Love to each family member through Brave Boxes.
A donation of $100 provides a Mini Brave Box.
A donation of $150 provides a Small Brave Box.
A donation of $250 provides a Medium Brave Box.
A donation of $300 provides a Large Brave Box.
A donation of any amount will begin building a Brave Box and we are so thankful for our Champions as they support us.
Our Needs
We are currently seeking Board Members to help us support our Programming. You may find additional information on out website at www.bravelikeellie.org
We have a goal to raise $15,000 so that we can provide Brave Boxes to our families. We know that a cancer diagnosis for your child can be quite overwhelming and we seek to lift the family up by providing for both needs and wants at Christmas. We believe this will allow the family to experience Joy and allow them to focus on caring for their families' needs.
We are looking to grow our volunteer team and have various options, both virtual and in-person.
