Celebrating our 26th year of connecting kids!

Connecting Kids
When Their World
Is Out of Reach

Our mission is to provide free technology to children with cancer and other serious illnesses to support their education, as well as their social and emotional well-being. Technology, including iPads, laptops, robots and Internet access, enables our children to continue their education during treatment while also remaining connected to family, friends and medical providers. We currently support children ages 3-18, in the United States.

MEET SUPERSTAR ELIJAH

Elijah is an active, funny and caring 12-year-old who was diagnosed with Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN). BPDCN is a rare, aggressive blood and bone marrow cancer that can affect the skin, lymph nodes, spleen, and central nervous system. This rare cancer affects fewer than 1,000 people each year.

Being hospitalized with cancer was the last thing on Elijah’s mind because he was very busy working to become a YouTube star. He absolutely loves creating content for his channels which are dedicated to his favorite pastimes, racing cars, and Legos. Elijah dreams of being a Formula 1 race car driver, but for now, he’s practicing his driving skills with his friends through video racing games like Gran Turismo 7.

Elijah is also a huge fan of UConn Men’s Basketball Team. To his delight, his favorite team would often visit him in the hospital and also provide him and other patients with free tickets to their home games.

We were happy to support Elijah with an iPad and home internet access while receiving cancer treatment. Today, Elijah is back to school and growing stronger every day, after over a year of aggressive chemotherapy. With the strength and determination Elijah shows, there’s no doubt that someday we will see him cross the finish line in first place at the Grand Prix.
