Nate’s Wish is a volunteer-driven nonprofit whose mission is to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer through Nate’s Wish packs. Nate’s Wish provides backpacks filled with helpful gifts to give comfort, words of encouragement, and needed distraction to children battling cancer. All pediatric cancer patients at Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville and at Norton Children’s in Louisville receive a Nate’s Wish pack. Additionally, we mail to many other hospitals throughout the nation including St. Jude’s, St. Louis Cardinal Glennon Children’s and Kentucky Medical Hospital when requested through NatesWish.com. Nate’s Wish volunteers have stuffed over 1,250 backpacks valued at $300 each with gifts to make hospital stays and years of clinic appointments a little easier for young cancer patients.
