The mission of Our Space is to embrace children and teens who have faced or are confronting cancer. Our Space will inspire peace, spirit, and healing within a supportive community, through play, learning, and creative exploration. We will:

Provide a space where creativity, play, and connection to others is fostered in a supportive environment, which will assist in healing and restoring spirit.

 

Allow the child/teen to continue to experience their role as child, friend, student, and family member, despite the many challenges that a life threatening illness can bring.

 

Provide the opportunity for the child/teen to receive educational support through assistance with homework/academic needs.

 

Foster the belief that creating and using one’s hands is healing and restores spirit.

 

Offer a space where children, teens, their families and friends can find support through being with others who have a shared similar experience.

 

Provide experiences and an environment, which fosters joy, relaxation, confidence, acceptance and sensitivity to the needs of the child/teen.
