It’s one of our favorite posts to do because we love hearing from you all… today starts a NEW month, so TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD!! Share some good news with us in the comments -- it can be ANYTHING! ✨

Thank you to Beth Guinn @theguinnlife, owner of @bonnevietravel and this year’s Co-Chair for the Candlelighters Lights of Courage Event, for sponsoring this month’s Candlelighters Cares program! The hospital staff loved the delicious @almalatinaheights tacos!

Candlelighters Cares is a monthly program where candlelighters connects community groups, restaurants, and businesses with our partner hospitals to provide a treat for their hardworking staff! Especially over the past year-and-a-half, nurses, doctors and hospital staff have gone above the call of duty to treat patients. And our hearts are near and dear to those who care so well for childhood cancer patients! Candlelighters Cares is our way to say “Thank You” and to remind them that we see and appreciate their hard work!

If you would like to sponsor a Candlelighters Cares treat for one of our Med Center partners – Texas Children’s Hospital, MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital, Children’s Memorial Hermann, or Texas Children’s Hospital West or Woodlands campuses, leave us a comment or send us a message.

Thank you to long-time friend and supporter of Candlelighters, Henrietta Hall, for sponsoring Candlelighters Cares and treating the awesome nurses and staff at Texas Children's Hospital West Campus this month! They work SO hard to provide the best care for Candlelighters families and childhood cancer patients, and we are SO grateful to them. The staff enjoyed DELICIOUS cookies from Milk & Cookies 💙

If you're interested in underwriting and sponsoring a yummy thank you treat via our Candlelighters Cares program, please send us a message! We serve our partner hospitals in the Med Center (MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital, and Children's Memorial Hermann) as well as the Texas Children's Hospital West and Woodlands Campuses!

We're a couple days early for the official Parent's Day on Sunday, but we think childhood cancer parents deserve a shoutout EVERY day! ✨

When a child with diagnosed with cancer, the whole family's life is turned upside down. Parents do any and EVERYTHING to help their child get better. All childhood cancer parents are superheroes in our eyes! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

To celebrate Parent's Day, tag a childhood cancer parent that you love in the comments and let them know just how great they're doing at this whole parenting gig! 💛

Last week was jam-packed with wonderful moments for Candlelighters 💛 We were so happy to sit down with two of our honored families for the upcoming Lights of Courage fundraiser. Every year, we honor 4 families, and last year was the first year capturing their stories' on film. We can't wait to bring these stories to the screen again this year to show all of you!

Thank you to the Moore Family and the Murillo Family for sitting down with us last week! We look forward to debuting your stories in October 🎗

If you haven't snagged your table for Lights of Courage this year, you will not want to miss it! We're transitioning to a night time event at the Houston Polo Club this year and are looking forward to a wonderful evening raising funds for childhood cancer families! ✨

We wanted to send a big THANK YOU to our dear supporters with @adamsangelstx!

This amazing group helps every year with our Summer Surprises Party serving MD Anderson Children's Cancer Center families and we were so thankful to have their help with the drive-thru last week. They purchased hundreds of delicious Chick-fil-A meals for families, provided gifts for teens, and brought tons of volunteers to help with various stations throughout the event!

Thank you for your continued support of Candlelighters!

It's time for another FAMILY FRIDAY feature!

Today, we're highlighting Candlelighters kiddos, Kaylyn! Kaylyn is currently in active treatment for GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease.) This is a side effect from her Bone Marrow Transplant after her ALL diagnosis in 2017.

Before COVID-19, Kaylyn and her family enjoyed the in-hospital Summer Surprises Party in 2019 - "It was a lot of fun and we were able to meet Orbit, the Houston Astros mascot!"

Kaylyn's mom says, "The one thing we have been able to be a part of for the past three years is Adopt-A-Family. We have been extremely blessed by the generosity of our sponsors and thankful to be a part of the Candlelighters Family."

We absolutely adore Kaylyn and are so thankful to know her and her family! Help us send Kaylyn some love in the comments! 🎗💛
