KIC families have the opportunity to provide some light to community members going through cancer treatments at Aurora Healthcare Cancer Clinics. Unfortunately, many families have been affected by cancer in one way or another. And one in every four patients diagnosed with cancer in Wisconsin is treated at an Aurora Cancer Care—it is the largest cancer program in the state.
Activities
Kids will work with residents in the memory care unit at Hamilton House to create Cancer Care Kits together.
During the playgroup time, your kids will have a blast creating a kit that will bring joy and comfort to a person going through a difficult journey through cancer treatment. Our playgroup will provide an opportunity for children, parents, and assisted living residents to interact and play with each other in a relaxed, friendly, playful, organized environment.
Impact
Intergenerational playgroups give children a true inter-generational experience while learning patience, kindness, and how to make new friends. Children will develop awareness and relationships with members of the community they would otherwise not meet.
Our friends at Hamilton House benefit tremendously from the interaction with our children. Residents in the memory care unit of Hamilton House will have a chance to be around our energetic and humorous littles and offer their love and gentle care for them. All the participants in this group will get to use their unique talents to bring cheer to patients in Aurora Healthcare Cancer Clinics. The patients at Aurora Healthcare will be provided with some basic necessities and the knowledge that they are not alone.
