Angels Among Us (myangelsamongus.org) provides financial and emotional support to pediatric cancer families living in or being treated in Nebraska. One way to support newly diagnosed families is through the distribution of AAU branded Family Kits at Children’s Nebraska. These bags are designed to provide families with the ability to grab and go on the road at a moment’s notice.
Within the Family Kit, AAU provides toiletry and hygiene items, a binder for records, a water bottle, Press’N Seal, hot and cold pack, blanket and much more. The kits also include several items from other local nonprofits and community partnerships. AAU thanks Scheels for their generous support to this initiative for 2025.
Every year, AAU distributes nearly 100 kits to newly diagnosed families, as it is full of necessary items in case of emergencies. Items provided in these kits are graciously donated throughout the year by supporters. However, AAU is still looking for several items included in Family Kits to ensure all bags have their critical supplies.
Family Kit supplies can be purchased and donated directly through AAU’s Amazon Wish List. This is linked at myangelsamongus.org/ways-to-give/.
AAU is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to provide financial and emotional support to any family whose child is battling pediatric cancer living in or being treated in the state of Nebraska. Since 2006, nearly 800 families have been supported with over $5 million in financial support.
