H.O.P.E. and Generosity

Learning your child has cancer is overwhelming. Specialists in the Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio are not only dedicated to providing the highest level of care to patients suffering from cancer, but are also dedicated to providing comfort, support, and care for the entire family. We could not do what we do without donors like Jana and Tom “T-Bone” Bounds.

Jana and T-Bone support patients year-round with monetary donations. One of the most meaningful items they provide for our patients and families are H.O.P.E. Bags.  The large bag is given to every newly admitted child with cancer at The Children’s Hospital and contains essential items that a family might need when they find themselves in crisis mode. The H.O.P.E. bags contain gift cards, toiletries, a thermometer, a blanket, a stuffed animal, toys, books, snacks, and more.

“We cannot thank Jana and T-Bone enough for their generosity and the impact they continue to make on the lives of our pediatric oncology patients and their families,” said Timothy Griffin, M.D., section head of hematology/oncology at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio.

As a non-profit hospital, support from the community is essential to creating a place of healing for the children and families we are privileged to serve. Donors, such as the Jana and T-Bone, help us continue to provide the very best care for every patient, every day, regardless of their parents’ ability to pay, and we are forever grateful.

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. If you would like to make a donation in honor of or in memory of a patient, please visit our website.
