“My favorite things about the Pickles Group is that it truly puts the kids at the center of this experience.”

— Daniel, Pickles Group Parent

“… Knowing that he’s going to have that guided support with kids that are going through the same thing.”

— Christine, Pickles Group Parent

“It’s been nice to have a place to go that’s not just talking to… someone who doesn’t understand.”

— Maddie, Pickles Group Youth

“Pickles gave her a place where she wasn’t the 'kid whose mom has cancer.' At Pickles she finally felt that someone understood even though her friends had tried their best.”

— Pickles Group Parent
“[My child gained a] greater sense of acceptance of diagnosis. And [they are] more at peace.”

— Pickles Group Parent
“I really liked all the drawing activities and interactive activities. They were great ways to learn new things about the other people in my group while also having fun!”

— Pickles Kid
"I was really able to make new friends and find common interests. I also brought home some new information about different types of cancer.”

— Pickles Kid
"The laughter, love, and hope in our Pickles Empower Group is magical. Through the most difficult of times, it’s been beautiful to watch our group members grow and learn more about cancer and about themselves, while making connections with others doing the same.”

— Pickles Volunteer Facilitator
"Seeing firsthand the connections built not only between the kids themselves, but also between them and myself throughout the program has been incredible. They showed me different ways of looking at things that I never would have thought of before and that is something I will never forget.”

— Pickles Volunteer Facilitator
"When we were walking out of the event, our son was telling us all about the new friend that he made at the event. It was also the first time that we have heard him use the word "cancer" when talking about the illness. A big breakthrough for us."
