| Abby's Carts of Courage |
Abby's Carts of Courage gifts children with cancer a new wagon to help them maneuver through their cancer journey. Often, cancer and its treatment leave patients fatigued and weak. While baby strollers are a great solution, they have a weight limit of 55 pounds making it unsafe for children above that to use. Filled with items to help keep their mind off their diagnosis and refuel their spirits, these gifts are a true blessing to both the child and their caregivers. Not only does a wagon provide much needed support for a child fighting cancer, but also for their family and caregivers. |
