After experiencing nearly 80–100 medical appointments during my son’s first year of leukemia treatment, I realized childhood cancer impacts far more than a child’s health — it completely reshapes daily family life around hospital visits, procedures, and ongoing emotional exhaustion. Maxwell’s Toy Box was created to help families navigate those difficult moments by providing meaningful support that brings comfort, distraction, and small moments of normalcy during pediatric cancer treatment.

Today, on International Childhood Cancer Day, we pause to honor the courage of children and families affected by cancer. Each year, an estimated 400,000 children and adolescents worldwide are diagnosed with cancer.
