How You can Support Team Mathias

Care Packages

We pack each box with the recipients (patient, siblings, and parents!) in mind. We include activities, necessities, gift cards, and hand-made products. At Mathias’s suggestion (because “you don’t always feel like having guests!”), we always ship the box. Learn more »

Why we do it

174,000 Kids

That’s how many kids are diagnosed worldwide each year. And of those, over 20% are terminal upon diagnosis.

Kids can't fight alone

Not only do the kids need support, but so too do their parents and siblings.

And our top reason:

Mathias Giordano

Even while he was fighting for his life, Mathias was determined spread awareness and drive funding for better treatment options. He wanted to let people to know that kids get cancer too and that they can’t fight alone. We are honored to continue the work he began.
