During our second Healing Through Nature session, we were thrilled to welcome our financial literacy partner, Mission Fed Credit Union , who led an amazing workshop for parents and caregivers all about understanding and building credit! 💳✨
As families heal together, it’s just as important to support their financial journey — and thanks to Mission Fed, our parents left feeling more confident and informed.

This past Saturday marked the second session of our Healing Through Nature series!
We had the honor of partnering with Bristol Myers Squibb to host a fun and educational family activity: “How Does a Pill Dissolve in Your Body?” 💊✨
Families got hands-on with science while learning how medicine supports the body’s healing process — all while continuing their journey of hope and connection in nature.

🎉 Ring the Bell for Jacob! 🎉
Last week we celebrated Jacob’s incredible victory over cancer with a joyful Ring the Bell moment! 💪🔔
Jacob was just 11 months old when he was diagnosed. After a complex surgery, he bravely faced a long road to recovery — even having to learn how to walk again. Through every challenge, Jacob showed unbelievable strength and resilience.
This powerful moment was made even more special thanks to the Manchester Foundation, longtime champions of ENF. Because of their heartfelt commitment, there is now a dedicated Manchester Foundation Bell at Rady Children’s Hospital — a lasting symbol of hope for families like Jacob’s.
We are so proud of Jacob, grateful to our amazing ENF team, and deeply thankful for the Manchester Foundation’s continued support. 💛

⏳ There’s still time to make twice the impact.
Thanks to a generous $5,000 End-of-Life Match, your donation today can go twice as far to support families during the most unimaginable moments.
There are no words to capture the heartache of a family facing the loss of a child. Through our End-of-Life program, we provide free, compassionate care - including financial support for burial expenses, emotional guidance, and protection from predatory practices - so families don’t have to face this time alone.
With your help, we can continue to walk alongside them, offering dignity, support, and love when it's needed most.
💛 Double your impact before the match ends: www.classy.org/campaign/ride-with-us/c675444

Our newest program, launched this year in collaboration with San Diego River Park Foundation , offers families a peaceful way to heal through the calming power of nature.
Through guided outdoor experiences along the river trails, families find comfort, connection, and renewal—because healing happens not just inside, but all around us.
We’re grateful to bring this meaningful opportunity to the families we serve. 💚
Help us keep this program growing and accessible for more families.
