About the Embrace Kids Foundation
         Hundreds of families in New Jersey and thousands nationwide are confronted each year with the terrible news that their child has cancer, sickle cell disease or some other blood disorder. Embrace Kids Foundation offers unique programs and services that deliver a comprehensive and compassionate method of delivering care to families when they need it most - when their child has a catastrophic illness.
       Since 1991, Embrace Kids Foundation has existed to support the non-medical needs of kids with cancer or a blood disorder. Founded by a small group of volunteers, the charity spends over $1 million a year to fulfill its mission. They are an independent organization providing the resources that help support families and hospital-based programs for the child-patients that would not be available otherwise. All of the services they provide are free.

Patient Testimonial
      My three-year-old son, Jimmy, was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia at birth. We are truly blessed to have the expertise and compassionate care of the pediatric hematology doctors, counselors and pediatric nurse practitioners at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH). The Sickle Cell Program at RWJUH has been a TREMENDOUS assistance to us. As a family, we try to be involved in all of the programs (Holiday Party, Counseling Services, Support Group sessions, etc.) offered. These programs have allowed us to network with other families with the same situations and enhance our quality of life. Our goal as parents is for him to lead a happy childhood/adulthood that is as normal as possible. We have had many challenges, but we are surviving as a result of the help from our extended family.
