Recently, Kids Need More, Long Island’s premier 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, families, and young adults coping with cancer and life threatening illnesses, hosted their 7th Annual HoLiDAY CHEER BUS Elf Ride making stops all over Long Island and Connecticut delivering toys to families coping with life threatening illnesses.
For the 7th year in a row, more than 40 buses, stocked with toy-delivering elves, drove directly to homes all over Long Island and Connecticut making wishes come true for over 400 families coping with cancer and serious illness.
“We started this event 7 years ago with just one bus, knowing that all parents feel the pressure to make the season magical for their children, but when families are stressed with medical visits, painful treatments, and financial burdens, taking part in holiday festivities can be overwhelming,” notes Melissa Firmes, President, KiDS NEED MoRE. “We wanted to make the experience not only wonderful for the children, but also as a gift to the entire family, and a way for everyone to enjoy the holiday together.”
