Moments of Joy Program

At LivFree, our mission is to support children and families impacted by pediatric cancer by helping create moments of hope and joy.

Moments of Joy are meaningful experiences—big or small—that provide opportunities for connection, healing, renewed hope and joy. They offer childhood cancer patients, along with their siblings and parents, a break from hospital visits and hard days. They help families make lasting memories and experience hope through moments of joy.

Your Impact in Their Words

“It was amazing. More amazing than I expected. And seeing Maddy with her siblings just made our hearts feel so full. It truly was an experience she will remember forever. Seeing the kids together, completely transfixed and holding each other was ....I have no words. It was just wonderful.”

Maddy’s Mom - Billie Eilish Concert
“Thank you for this opportunity. Cayden had surgery last week on his legs and to remove his port. It’s been a bit more recovery than we expected so this was a really nice outing and a nice way to celebrate him being done with all procedures and treatments!”

Cayden - Cirque du Soleil
“Thank you for coordinating such an amazing experience for Carter and our family. We sang along to songs, danced, and cheered for the Red Sox! Best of all, we made memories separate from Carter’s cancer diagnosis. Steven asked Carter if he had a good time last night and he replied, “I think I had the time of my life!”

Carter’s Mom - Red Sox Game
“The best day of his life!!!! He got to get an autograph from Steph Curry and even shake his hand!! He didn’t want to wash his hands! lol Thank you sooo much!!!”

Adam’s Mom - Golden State Warriors
“What a weekend! We had such a blast at the game. We truly appreciate everything you did to make this experience possible. Life has its ups and downs - this was definitely a high point for us!

“We are grateful and thankful for the generous gift especially at this time of the year. It feels great to see Alyssa and her brothers enjoying the time that they used to enjoy especially now that Alyssa is capable in doing all the fun.”

Alyssa’s Mom - Disneyland
“Our hearts are FULL! After we got checked into our room yesterday Judah broke down into happy tears. He’s so relieved. To him this feels like the milestone that proves he can do big things he couldn’t do when he was sick, and like we are past the hardest part. We are watching emotional healing happen right in front of us as he swims.”

Judah’s Mom - Great Wolf Lodge
"It was so special to meet Red Sox pitcher Liam Hendriks. Liam asked us all the questions about E’s diagnosis and treatment. He seriously was the sweetest man!"

Emmanuel’s Mom - Red Sox Game
“We had the most MAGICAL time! It was 10 hours of rides, corn dogs and family time! Literally no melt downs, no bad vibes. I’m brought to tears even thinking about it. After 2 years of Delilah fighting Leukemia, being given the gift of a day as a family, where everything goes “right” is just the most magical experience anyone could ask for!!!”

Delilah’s Mom - Universal Hollywood

Thank you so much for allowing my family to be able to create these memories that we will cherish forever! “
