Our Vision
Bryanna’s Love was founded in honor of Bryanna Kitchen, who was diagnosed with Early T-cell Precursor Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ETP-ALL) three weeks after her 9th birthday. She passed away three short months later on October 24th, 2016. One of the few things that gave her strength to smile during her stay in the hospital was the many stuffed animals and the blanket she received, which stayed close to her side throughout treatment. It is through that experience that Bryanna’s Love, Inc was founded to provide the same comfort to patients and families battling childhood cancer at Children's Hospitals around the United States. It is our goal to reach as many brave children and their families as we can through our programs: Give Kids a Snuggle, Sibling Love, and Home to Care.
