The holiday season can be an especially difficult time for children who are battling cancer. Many of these young patients spend time in the hospital away from home and those they love. 

In 2019, I saw this firsthand when I was diagnosed with cancer. During my treatment, I met many extraordinary children and families navigating this same frightening journey. While I’ve been extremely blessed to make a full recovery, I promised myself I would never forget these inspiring kids. 

During my battle, I was surrounded by faithful family and friends that supported and uplifted me. Inspired by these patients and families, I created a non-profit foundation to help with travel, lodging, food and other needs. Last holiday season, we were excited to launch an online toy drive to benefit patients at the University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Thanks to our community’s generosity and with the help of Facebook, we delivered more than 100 toys to some very special kids raising over $700. 

To donate, you can simply find the Dalton Workman Foundation on Facebook or Instagram – and follow the link there to purchase toys between now and December 15. 

Together, we can help brighten the spirits of kids across Kentucky who could really use some holiday cheer. If you are able, we invite you to join us in our mission to bless as many families as we can. To learn more about our foundation, please visit: www.daltonworkman.org.
