Brightening Hospital Stays, One Story at a Time.
~Because every child deserves comfort, hope, and the magic of a story.
At the Bradykin Children’s Foundation, we believe stories have the power to heal, inspire, and bring joy no matter where a child lives.
Our journey began when my daughter Megan spent years in and out of hospitals as a baby. During those uncertain days, we were lifted by the kindness of strangers a handmade quilt in the quiet of the night, arts and crafts that brought Megan moments of joy, toys for her big brother Matthew, and thoughtful gestures from people we had never met. Those small acts of love brought light to our darkest moments, and we never forgot them.
Today, we carry that spirit forward by delivering Bradykin Care Packages filled with our family-written books, cuddly plush toys, coloring pages, and fun activities to children in hospitals across the country and around the world. Each package brings comfort, hope, and connection, reminding children and their families that they are not alone.
But we can’t do this alone. Every Bradykin Care Package is made possible by people like you caring hearts who believe in the magic of kindness. Together, we can turn small acts into lasting memories and brighten the hospital experience for children who need it most, at home and across the globe.
