At The Valentine Project, Valentine’s Day isn’t just a holiday — it’s a promise.

Right now, our team of volunteers is hard at work preparing Personalized Packages of Love for children across the United States who are affected by pediatric cancer or chronic illness. Our list has grown to over 500 children, and it continues to grow as families seek moments of joy during incredibly difficult seasons.

For many of the children we serve, Valentine’s Day is a BIG deal. Childhood illness often means missing out — missed school days, missed celebrations, missed holidays, and missed moments that should be carefree and joyful. That’s one of the reasons we focus on Valentine’s Day. It’s a holiday children love. It’s colorful, joyful, and centered on love — and every child deserves to feel cherished.

When someone becomes a Valentineby donating $50, their gift helps sponsor a child’s Personalized Package of Love. Each package is filled with fun, cheerful surprises — a handmade pillowcase, toys, treats, a gift card, and more — all thoughtfully put together by volunteers to spark smiles, laughter, and excitement. But more than anything, these packages deliver an important message:

You are seen. You are loved. You matter.

We also recognize that a serious diagnosis impacts the entire family. That’s why siblings — often the unsung heroes — are included in our outreach. They, too, deserve to feel remembered, supported, and celebrated during a time when so much attention is focused elsewhere.

Because The Valentine Project relies entirely on donations, we can serve as many children as our financial resources allow. Every $50 donation helps us reach one more child with love and hope delivered straight to their doorstep.

Our goal is simple and heartfelt: a Valentine for every child on our list. With your support, we can ensure that no child is left out of this special moment.

Together, we are spreading love, hope, and joy — and making our world kinder, one child at a time.

Every child navigating the challenges of pediatric cancer or chronic illness deserves to feel valued, cherished, and surrounded by love. With compassion at our core, we deliver Personalized Packages of Love—brimming with thoughtful gifts—and uplifting Kindness Cards to children and their siblings, spreading joy and reminding them they are never alone.

Founded on the simple yet profound belief that every child deserves moments of happiness, our mission is to bring love, hope, and connection to families navigating life’s toughest challenges. Through the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers, we’ve created a community where every gesture of kindness makes a lasting impact.

Whether it’s a smile delivered across the miles or a reminder that someone cares deeply, our story is one of compassion, resilience, and the power of coming together to make a difference. Together we are making our world kinder.

Join us in spreading joy and creating moments that matter for these incredible families.
