The Good Box Parent & Patient Care Packages

The Good Box Care Packages are sent to patients and parents nationwide to put smiles on their faces and show them they are not alone in their fight. The Junior Good Box patient boxes are filled with toys, games, and books while parent boxes are filled with self-care items and gift cards. Both deliver joy and smiles when they are needed the most.

Caregiver Education/Patient & Family Library

Educational resources are available to all families in the One Mission Resource Room. These materials help them learn about their child’s illness and understand the treatment their child is about to undergo.

Celebrating Amazing Moms Program

One Mission has partnered with Massachusetts General Hospital on the Celebrating Amazing Moms Program. Once a year, we host a special day all about the moms that includes a brunch, a variety of relaxing and therapeutic activities such as mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and art therapy, as well as the chance to spend time with each other.

Go Mom!

Community Resources

One Mission has partnered with various health and wellness practitioners, businesses, and other organizations to offer parents and caregivers free or discounted services to help them get back on the path to feeling like themselves again.

Healing Conversations

One Mission’s Healing Conversation Video Series features interviews with industry professionals to address different needs in the cancer community, including how to handle emotional, physical and financial trauma. We also released the Healing Conversations Podcast where you can hear real people tell their real stories of overcoming many different types of trauma.

Heart to Heart Grant Program

The One Mission Heart to Heart Grant Program is an essential tool for parents, caregivers, and siblings to heal from the overwhelming emotional and financial burden of pediatric cancer. You can apply for a Heart to Heart grant to be used for anything from therapy sessions to yoga classes, to a getaway camp for a sibling, or to just get out of the house for a date night.

Holiday Party

What’s more rewarding than receiving a gift? Giving one! At the Holiday Party, each child will experience the true joy of giving by becoming a Secret Santa for another child. The fun begins as they choose thoughtful gifts for their secret pal, leading up to a heartwarming and magical gift exchange. We’re thrilled to partner with Camp Casco to put a unique spin on this holiday tradition, where the magic isn’t just in the presents, but in the connections created.

One Mission Caring for the Caregiver Retreat

Open to both bereaved and survivor parents, the One Mission Caring for Caregiver Retreat is a rejuvenating overnight experience designed to equip parents with effective tools for managing emotions and stress. Throughout the retreat, parents will enjoy nourishing meals in a peaceful and serene setting. We are honored to partner with Rett’s Roost to ensure that caregivers – who spend so much time supporting others – receive the care and support they truly deserve.

One Mission Day Camp

At One Mission, we believe in supporting the whole family, not just the patient. From arts and crafts to water fights, field games to pies in the face, the One Mission Day Camp offers an action-packed week of fun that allows patients, survivors, and siblings to bond in a relaxed, low-pressure environment.

One Mission Open to Healing Retreat

One Mission has teamed up with Rett’s Roost to offer a transformative 5-day, 4-night retreat for families who have lost a child to cancer. This retreat provides parents a supportive space to share their grief with others who truly understand, while children engage in fun, therapeutic activities designed to heal. Picture it as a week-long support group, filled with inspiring activities that foster personal connections, lighten hearts, and help lift spirits.

Patient & Family Support Staff

One Mission funds the salaries of two full-time Program Coordinators dedicated to the One Mission Resource Room at Boston Children’s Hospital. The Program Coordinators help create a safe space within the hospital, bringing families together, providing invaluable resources, and fostering fun through activities and games. They oversee all One Mission programming in the Resource Room and at the bedside, such as our Catered Meals, Special Occasion Celebrations, and Music and Art Therapy programs.
