Description

The Love OF Learning Program is the patient laptop donation program component of our Digital Learning Program. Pediatric cancer and other life-threatening childhood diseases cause unexpected gaps in the familial structure. Because of our deep understanding of the impact these diseases have on the familial structure, ABF creates programs to fill said gaps. The Digital Learning Program fills the "quality educational gap," which allows children to continue to receive a quality education while hospitalized or during at-home recovery.

On the day of distribution of the laptops & Chromebooks, ABF volunteers creates a "WONDERFUL DISTRACTION" during our visit to hospitals receiving the donations. We bring Captain Poodaman Care Packages for the in-patients who are unable to attend and playplay games with prizes and treat bags for patients able to join us. Our goal is to spread cheer to children in a not so cheerful situation. All while filling a much needing gap caused by their diagnosis.
