How is Starlight different from other childrens charities?
Few organizations provide children with strategies, programs and services that enable them to cope with the challenging daily demands of serious illness. Even fewer provide support services that continue beyond hospital stays or one-time special events, or extend to the family. Starlight provides ongoing resources and a sense of community from the moment of diagnosis throughout a family’s journey through serious illness. We serve seriously ill children and teens nationwide regardless of disease or injury, gender, race, ethnicity, or socio-economic status, as well as their family members of all ages.
