Through our programs, we are on track to reach our goal to impact 1 million children by 2025. We cannot wait to celebrate this milestone with you.

 Reflecting on our journey, I am filled with gratitude and pride for the accomplishments achieved over the years, and for the unwavering support of our partners and donors who have made it possible. Your generosity has fueled our mission and touched countless lives. Standish Foundation for Children was named in honor of my husband Michael “Miles” Standish who encouraged and supported our work. It is in his memory that we continue to transform children’s healthcare. With your support, we will bring hope and healing to hospitalized children and reduce their pain and suffering.

Our impact would not be possible without the support of our donors, volunteers, board directors, hospitals, NGO partners, contractors advisors and prayer warriors. The numismatic and child life communities have been steadfast partners.  Together, we have transformed healthcare experiences for children around the globe.. As we celebrate this milestone, I am grateful for your support, wisdom, and trust. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.

While we may not sit with the children “under the shade of the trees we plant,” still our love and compassion are planted in many children’s hearts around the world.
