Introducing Kisses for Kyle’s newest program for 2024, Alessandro’s Angels! Today our longtime friend & supporter Alessandro Reale delivered 2 bikes & helmets he put together for sweet Leah & Margo! They both love their new bikes with special deliveries!

After 4 years of putting together and donating bikes to our amazing warriors during the holiday season, Alessandro shared he wanted to do more to support our families all year long. We created Alessandro’s Angels together to gift brand new bikes delivered to our warriors homes near and far. Each month new warriors will be selected to receive special deliveries.

Stay tuned for more announcements as we continue to grow Alessandro’s Angels!

This weekend, Emilia’s family hosted a bye bye chemo block party to celebrate her end of treatment with leukemia. The rainy weather didn’t stop a huge crowd gathering all around this amazing family. They played a song made just for Emilia as they looked out their upstairs window gazing at all of us with huge smiles on all of our faces. Then they rejoined us outside sporting these fabulous pink superhero capes!

Kisses for Kyle is very honored and touched to be included in this beautiful celebration as the Isaacs family requested their friends and family make a donation to our nonprofit in honor of their sweet Emilia. They expressed their deep appreciation for the support we provide to their family and felt deeply in their hearts to help fellow families in their daughter’s honor. We loved being there celebrating this beautiful milestone! 💞💛🐞🎗️ ... See MoreSee Less

Teamwork makes the dream work! In 2017, Robin Gilles had the idea for us to spend the weekend in her Poconos home with fellow Moms facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. What began as such a kind, generous and loving gesture that weekend turned into Kisses for Kyle creating a new program to support our Moms & Dads by bringing each group together so they can connect, be in a space with others who get each other without having to say a word, to laugh, cry, enjoy downtime away from times of unfathomable levels of stress and make connections which very well last a lifetime. So after our program began, Amy Servis joined in to donate their Pocono's homes for our getaways. Each year as our nonprofit grows, our program grows with us. It takes A LOT of help from many kindhearted generous partners and donors. Some who know us and some who are introduced to us. We treasure everyone who joins us in helping our beloved families in ways we find can help bring much needed support. Most of us don't know what we need to help us so when an opportunity is presented to us and we are brave enough to accept it, it can position us to a kinder and gentler space we thought we had forever lost. I speak to you as a parent who has been there where we feel so isolated and trapped in the strong grip childhood cancer has over us. So for everyone who joins in to provide this comfort, care and love, please know you are helping to make a positive and long lasting impact.

Thank you to Robin & Tom for opening your home to our parents time and time again along with all of the efforts before, during and after. You are a family who has lived this journey and it is so beautiful how much you love our families. Thank you Amy for digging so deep for each parent getaway by finding new and stronger ways to help. You found us when you heard we needed holiday support many years back and your level of care continues to grow stronger in ways that is simply admirable and strongly appreciated. Thank you to all 9 Lake Harmony homeowners who jumped right in without hesitation when Amy presented our weekend to you. Amy Reese & Kevin, Tony Kindness, Staci Sklar, Chris and Becky Fuhry, Karen Filoon, Julie Scheiring, Fran Azzilonna Shesh, Paul and Andrea Urenovich & Gerry & Lisa Connor, you helped Kisses for Kyle and all of our Moms attending in such a kindhearted and generous manner. A sincere thank you to each of your cleaning services for joining in by donating their time and efforts as well, it's truly beautiful. Thank you to George Hayeck for your very kind, generous and fun donation through Lake Harmony Golf Cart Rentals along with wanting to join us as we continue to grow our program, our Moms had the best time riding around in your golf carts! Thank you as always to Bob & Sharon for joining our families to capture special moments for all of us to treasure. We love you both beyond measure. Thank you Megan as always for helping me keep everything overly organized and in a very timely manner. We run on very minimal manpower while helping many people and you truly help us move it along to maximize every effort. Thank you to Nancy for always getting it done, whatever the it is. You don't turn down any of my crazy requests for us to make our positive impacts and each time they are always so appreciated. Thank you to Rich for your generous contribution which helped us provide groceries to 3 of our homes this weekend. Thank you to everyone who contributed gifts and yummy treats to our Moms too! Marilyn Schiff with beautiful earrings, Sheryl's Place with yummy and beautiful chocolate covered pretzels, Kindness Kookies for your delicious kookies we all love, Cookies for Kids' Cancer Beth Robertson all the way from California was such an extra special care package, Barbara Glucksman-Hewitt always up to something and this time cozy socks to add, Tina Libby Caranci & Pat for the beautifully scented bath bombs, Sharon Auslander Shapiro for always sharing your love with providing special makeup pouches, along with all of our generous contributors throughout the year who helps us to fund the portions of our programs not covered by our generous in kind donors. We were also able to provide groceries, bottles of wine and spending money over and above all of the generosity and kindness provided.

We are SO APPRECIATIVE to have the opportunity to help make these positive impacts for our families who deserve this peace, care and love, THANK YOU!!!! ... See MoreSee Less

What a love story this is!!

This weekend, Kisses for Kyle hosted 37 Moms facing a childhood cancer diagnosis in the Pocono’s with TEN donated homes!!! Our Moms drove from throughout the tri-state region where we support our beloved families to join together. We began hosting our parent weekends in 2018 and prior to this year, the most parents we hosted at once was 16! We were able to make it happen due to a tremendous amount of teamwork which included many generous and giving partners & donors along with our amazing team members. Each beautiful home was stocked with lots of groceries, a bottle of wine, yummy treats and a gift bag which included spending money for each of our Moms. We have received not only tremendous feedback and appreciation from Moms who attended, we have since received additional generous & kind support in the Pocono’s to add to our next weekend getaway in the Fall for our Dads!

Lots of laughter, tears, hugs, care, fun and needed relaxation took place. Our Moms enjoyed going out together for meals and fun like kayaking, ziplining, hot tubs, fire pits, hiking, golf carts throughout the neighborhood, games, gatherings at the homes, along with making many new connections and lifelong bonds.

I’ll continue to share the joy through additional posts this week highlighting our partners and donors. For the moment, I was so excited to share with everyone such a special time spent. I’m sharing a few photos in this post, but please take a little time to click on the link provided with a beautiful photo album Bob Steck put together for all of us. It will surely brighten your day!!

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAMWORK!! #childhoodcancerawareness #kissesforkyle #appreciationrunsdeep
