mission · from form 990

Lily's Pad has a mission to help lessen the isolation and quarantine of children with weakened immune sysytems. We provide activity packs for children in outpatient treatments and celebration kits to allow for hospital staff tp make positive memories for kids in treatment on their special days. Ultimately, our goal is to build an indoor playground, specially cleaned to accomodate the immunocompromised child, to allow play, friendship and community to occur among those children and their families.

what they reported doing

Program narrative the organization filed with the IRS. Ordered by program spending.

  1. #1 primary $1K
    In December, we collected toys and gifts for children spending the holidays in the hospital. Additionally we purchased gifts for three families whose children were diagnosed with an illness the week before Christmas and who will be spending their holidays unexpectedly away from home. This program called "Gift Back" is designed to help give back some of the joy of the season and put a focus on the mental and emotional health of children going through these challenging times.
