Helping sick kids feel better one smile at a time
Kayla Cares 4 Kids’ mission is to help sick kids feel better by providing entertainment and educational items to children’s hospitals, Ronald McDonald Houses and related pediatric facilities worldwide.
Founder and Chief Kid Officer Kayla Abramowitz began the organization at the age of 11. She knew what it was like to spend countless days in hospitals after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, Juvenile Arthritis and Eosinophilic Colitis. Kayla discovered the lack of recreational activities in place to offset the fear, pain and boredom hospital patients with chronic illnesses often experience.
Through Kayla’s efforts, Kayla Cares 4 Kids helps raise the spirit of young patients by identifying and providing what they need to stay engaged and motivated during their recovery process.
