Dear Friends and Kier’s Kidz Family:Kiersten always loved children. She connected with children because she approached life with the wonderment of a child. So, Kier was always in the groove with kids, and they knew it.Kier’s connection with kids helped tremendously when she was in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia for treatment of her cancer. She knew what they were going through as an adult who remembered what it was like to be a child. Thus, she could help kids face their treatments with a knowing, loving adult who encouraged them and took joy in being with them, even as she was going through her own tough times.Kier had such a zest for life, a child’s zest for life. She never gave up on living. She made the most of her time every moment she had the energy to do so. Amazingly, her heart kept beating for almost two hours after she took her last breath. Mimi and I laughed and cried during this time. We knew what she was up to.Kier’s last wish was that the children and young adults who fought cancer after she died had what they needed to make it through treatment and had a better chance of survival. She created Kier’s Kidz to make that dream come true.Please help keep Kier’s love and dream alive by donating to Kier’s Kidz at www.kierkidz.com/ways-to-give/Thanks so much.Love and Peace,Larry PerfettiCEO, Kier’s Kidz ...

A NJ nonprofit for kids and young adults with cancer. Located in Highland Park with college chapters at Rutgers University and Williams College.
Dear Kier’s Kidz Family and Friends A few weeks a Dear Kier’s Kidz Family and Friends A few weeks ago, Sarah and Usra Attalla, two of Kier’s Kidz esteemed Board members, delivered again on a promise that we made to Imam Sohaib Sultan, for Chaplain at Princeton University, to improve the lives of people hospitalized with cancer. Chaplain Sultan had a zoom meeting with us literally one week before he died from cancer. His wish was for the people of Kier’s Kidz to help improve cancer treatment facilities' psychological, spiritual, and physical environments. He briefly spoke of his experience of how his time in treatment was unnecessarily more difficult because of the relative lack of attention given to the impact these facilities have on the psychological and spiritual life of their patients. We promised to help fulfill his wish. Sarah and Usra have been the leaders of the Chaplain Sohaib Sultan Project of Kier’s Kidz right from the beginning. Having conferred with the staff of CINJ’s pediatric oncology unit, Sarah and Usra purchased gifts for the young children and adolescents that would make their time in and out of the unit more pleasant. They bought the kids their own dinosaur and unicorn fleece blankets, drawing books, memory foam travel-neck pillows, and noise-canceling earphones. These cool and comforting gifts will make the kids’ treatment experiences just that much better. I want to thank Sarah and Usra for the thought, time, and energy they put into these acts of love and charity. Sohaib Sultan would be proud of them. We at Kier’s Kidz sure are. And I’m sure the kids are loving their gifts. Please remember the children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer by supporting our work at https://www.kierskidz.com/. None of us is paid for our work, so all your money goes to help our clients. Thanks. Love, Peace, and Health, Larry Perfetti CEO, Kier’s Kidz

Leukemia is the most common pediatric cancer affec Leukemia is the most common pediatric cancer affecting young children and teens, accounting for nearly 1 out of 3 cancers. It occurs when abnormal cells grow in the bone marrow, flow into the bloodstream, and multiply at an exponential rate. Its symptoms include: • Pale skin • Feeling tired, weak, or cold • Dizziness • Headaches • Shortness of breath • Fever • Frequent or long-term infections • Bone or joint pain If you notice your child has any of these symptoms, speak to your physician and set up an appointment right away. During the appointment, your pediatrician will ask you questions about your child’s symptoms and examine your child. Blood tests and other tests may be recommended. If the tests come back negative. but the symptoms persist, get a second opinion from an oncologist (at a Comprehensive Cancer Care Center, if possible) to ensure your child’s well-being. (This post is meant to be educational. All decisions made about your child’s health and treatment should be made in concert with your child’s medical providers.)
