The Izzy Foundation seeks to design spaces, provide services and support to children with cancer and their families by implementing inpatient and outpatient services for pediatric patients at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, in Providence, Rhode Island and nationwide.
Inspired by Izzy, and powered by her family with the help of families whose children had or have cancer or other life-altering medical conditions, The Izzy Foundation strives to provide comfort and support through many programs that include:

We raise funds and recieve donations to fund and run The Izzy Room located in Hasbro Children's Hospital. The Izzy Family Room opened at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in March of 2014. The Izzy Family Room has become so much more than anyone anticipated. We provide coffe, snacks, hygeine products and lunch to parents Monday through Friday. We also organize activities and crafts for the kids to entertain them while they are admitted to the hospital. We interact with all types of patients in the hospital but mainly focus on children with cancer who have very long in patient stays.
