Patient & Family Support Programs
The Good Box Care Packages are sent to patients and parents nationwide to put smiles on their faces and show them they are not alone in their fight. The Junior Good Box patient boxes are filled with toys, games, and books while parent boxes are filled with self-care items and gift cards. Both deliver joy and smiles when they are needed the most.
Applications are currently closed as we work to fulfill current requests. Please check back in the future.
Whatever the quickest and least expensive option the hospital cafeteria has to offer is often what parents and caregivers find themselves eating for lunch day after day. One Mission’s Caregiver Meals Program provides parents and caregivers free, healthier options. This program is conveniently offered on the oncology floor so parents can stay close to their children.
Educational resources are available to all families in the One Mission Resource Room. These materials help them learn about their child’s illness and understand the treatment their child is about to undergo.
One Mission has partnered with Massachusetts General Hospital on the Celebrating Amazing Moms Program. Once a year, we’ll host a special day all about the moms that includes a brunch, a variety of relaxing and therapeutic activities such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and art therapy, as well as the chance to spend time with each other.
Go Mom!
Ever been stuck in an MRI tube? It’s horrible. One Mission purchased a pair of CinemaVision Goggles for Brigham & Women’s Hospital. These amazing goggles let pediatric cancer patients watch movies during MRI radiation therapy, which blocks out the loud noise, gives them a fun distraction, and dramatically lowers the need for sedation.
One Mission has partnered with various health and wellness practitioners, businesses, and other organizations to offer parents and caregivers free or discounted services to help them get back on the path to feeling like themselves again.
One Mission’s Healing Conversation Video Series features interviews with industry professionals to address different needs in the cancer community, including how to handle emotional, physical and financial trauma. We also released the Healing Conversations Podcast where you can hear real people tell their real stories of overcoming many different types of trauma.
The One Mission Heart to Heart Grant Program is an essential tool for parents, caregivers, and siblings to heal from the overwhelming emotional and financial burden of pediatric cancer. You can apply for a Heart to Heart grant to be used for anything from therapy sessions to yoga classes, to a getaway camp for a sibling, or to just get out of the house for a date night.
One Mission funds the salaries of two full-time Program Coordinators dedicated to the One Mission Resource Room at Boston Children’s Hospital. The Program Coordinators help create a safe space within the hospital, bringing families together, providing invaluable resources, and fostering fun through activities and games. They oversee all One Mission programming in the Resource Room and at the bedside, such as our Catered Meals, Special Occasion Celebrations, and Music and Art Therapy programs.
