Mission statement

The Comforting Kids Foundation is devoted to helping provide comfort and normalcy in the hospital environment, creating a "home away from home" atmosphere for infants, children, and their families throughout Northern and Central California. 

About us   

Comforting Kids Foundation has teamed up with Children's Hospital Central California of Madera, the Children's Center at Sutter Memorial Hospital of Sacramento, Children's Hospital and Research Center of Oakland, and the Memorial Medical Center of Modesto R.O.C.K. Program (Recreational Opportunities for Cancer Kids.)

Each hospital has a Child Life Program. The program is designed to bring the children out of their rooms and into a common playroom to interact with other children. There are many provided games, toys, movies and other activities that help aid in passing the long hours of the day and night. For the children that are unable to leave their rooms, many activities are taken to them. Infants are provided items ranging from rocking chairs to baby swings, music mobiles, crib CD players and so much more.

The goal of the program is to provide an environment as comfortable and close to home as possible. The Child Life Program does not bill for their time or services and relies solely on donations.

Each hospital puts together a wish list of items that enhance the patients' care. Your donations to our foundation directly fund these items and are personally delivered by our foundation members throughout the year.

Our mission is to fulfill wishes throughout the year and bring comfort to the children who so desperately need it and so truly deserve it.
