About Axe of Love and Kindness Foundation
When a child is in critical care, parents may be living at the bedside while trying to manage the practical details of daily life. Axe of Love and Kindness Foundation supports children and families with Caregiver Comfort Kits, Anti-Itch Kits, toys, heart warrior packages, meals, hygiene supplies, and other resources. Your gift helps bring comfort and useful support to families navigating hospitalization, heart surgery, and critical care.
The foundation’s work comes directly from a family’s experience with a child’s six-month hospitalization for severe heart failure. That perspective shows up in the details, from backpacks with more than 30 essentials for parents to soft vests, nighttime gloves, coloring materials, and other child-focused support.
