Dear Kier’s Kidz Family:Thanks to the guys at Kier’s Kidz at Williams College for hosting a pieing event to raise money for the kids and young adults with cancer in need of financial help. What an event. One day, I want to be there to take my turn at being pied with whipped cream. Whip cream, being my favorite source of protein (hah), is also my favorite food source.The process is simple, as explained by the Williams College group. You buy plenty of canned whipped cream, some paper plates, find an outside venue that won’t be affected by whipped cream, invite the college crowd to join the fun, and then have people volunteer to get a plate of whipped cream in their face for a nominal fee. Being rough with one another is not allowed. Then, you pie the person who has volunteered until his/her piepals want to move on to another volunteer. And so on, until all the whipped cream is gone. The money you collect is donated to Kier’s Kidz in hopes that someday the kids fighting cancer will have their chance to play such a fun game.Fortunately, the Williams crowd sent photos of this semester’s pieing event, which I share below for your amusement.I want to thank each participant of this event. The students raised $663.Love and Peace to all,Larry Perfetti ... See MoreSee Less

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

One way you can help kids and young adults with cancer is to donate your used vehicle (any kind) to Kier's Kids through Cars Partners, our car donation partner. It only takes a phone call from you to change the life of a kid with cancer.

Thank you all for your support! Thank you all for your support!
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.)
