Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer

No family fights alone!

Founded and run by pediatric cancer moms, we supply Northern CA pediatric oncology families with Hospital Survival Wagons at the time of diagnosis and invite them into a thriving parent to parent support group.

Mama Bears is forever grateful to Sweet Dreams for creating a safe place for our very own Mama Bears’ Baby Ryan a room for him to play and explore. We met Baby Ryan after being diagnosed at 3 months old with AML when all our own kiddos were fighting their cancer battles. Ryan is our Mama Bears baby since the beginning of Mama Bears. When Ryan relapsed at 2 years old, cancer took his eye sight but as you can see nothing stops this Warrior! We love you Ryan! 💛 We are blessed to be able to watch you continue to grow!

Every wagon has a destination. Every destination has a family waiting for hope and help. ❤️

This week, our wagons rolled into Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and three other pediatric oncology hospitals, bringing wagons full of items hand picked by veteran cancer families, to pass on support to families walking through childhood cancer.

We are grateful to clear 20 wagons off of our waitlist, due to friends like you who have generously donated:
🐻 Kaiser Oakland – 8 wagons
🐻 Stanford – 10 wagons
🐻 Kaiser Santa Clara – 2 wagons
Next up on our list:
🐾Sutter Roseville coming soon!

Inside each wagon are carefully curated essential hospital survival items, activities, and connection to support, reminding families that they are not facing childhood cancer alone.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, and supporter who helps keep these wagons rolling. We are run 100% by volunteers and donations. You are delivering far more than supplies—you are delivering comfort, dignity, and hope.

💛 One wagon. Countless moments of hope.

Sometimes our hearts are in the right place, but we just don’t know what the right thing to say is. 💛

If someone you love is walking through childhood cancer or grieving the loss of a child, you don’t have to have the perfect words. You don’t have to fix it.

Just show up. Listen. Remember their child. Stay.

The smallest changes in what we say can make the biggest difference.

Save this post for the next time someone you love needs you. 🤍

Some of the greatest acts of comfort aren’t loud. They’re practical.

A wagon may not seem like much, but to a family living in a hospital room, it becomes a way to carry the things that make life a little more manageable. Fill it FULL of items you don’t know you need to live day in and day out, and it’s a huge breath of fresh air at a time you’re barely able to breathe.

Every wagon we deliver says, “You don’t have to carry this alone.”

Because of you, our donors, we’re able to keep showing up for childhood cancer families with tangible lifelines of support when they need it most. If you’d like to help us put more wagons into the hands of families walking this road, every donation helps make moments like this possible. 💛🎗️

Some days it’s hard to find the words.

Childhood cancer changes everything, and some days the weight of it all feels especially heavy.

If you’re a parent walking this road, we want you to know something:

You don’t have to walk it alone.

Our parent-to-parent support group is a place to connect with other parents who truly understand. No pressure. No pretending. Just people who get it because they’ve lived it too.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, in treatment, in survivorship, or grieving, there is a place for you.

We’re here to listen.
We’re here to encourage.
We’re here to remind you that you’re never carrying this alone.

💛 Carry your family. We’ll carry you. www.mbfcc.org

💚 Today we’re celebrating a business that has chosen to give back from day one.

As they open their doors in Rocklin, Enchanted Indoor Playground is donating opening day proceeds to Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer. We are so grateful!

As a nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community to continue supporting children with cancer and their families through providing Hospital Wagons, resources, and emotional support, from parents who are walking this journey with them.

Thank you, Enchanted Indoor Playground, for helping us carry families through some of their hardest days. 💛

Today we celebrate the warriors who have faced cancer and continue moving forward with incredible strength.

At Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer, we’ve learned that survivorship is not just the end of treatment. It’s the follow-up appointments, the lasting effects, the milestones that once felt out of reach, and the moments families fought so hard to obtain

We’ve watched children ring the bell, return to school, graduate, learn to drive, head off to college, and simply get to be kids again.

To every survivor in our community, we are so proud of you.

Your journey has changed us. Your courage inspires us. And today, we celebrate YOU.

💛

Grab you crew and head on over to Ruhstaller Farm this Thursday, June 4. The farm is located at 6686 Sievers Rd, Dixon, CA.

The farm opens early for you to purchase dinner from Tapps Kitchen and drinks on tap from Ruhstaller. Ruhstaller Farm also sells ice cream that is amazing!!!

YOLO line dance events are put on by volunteers and 100% of your $5 donation will support Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer.

5:30 - 6:30 PM is a full hour dedicated to beginner line dancers!!! Beginners, arrive early for the warm-up session at 5:30 PM and a formal beginner lesson of Hillbilly Girl at 6 PM with Kirsten.

Don’t worry we have several beginner dances to be played throughout the night. Every time we call “Everyone on the Floor” you know the dance is perfect for beginner line dancers and for people who don’t know the dance. Join the fun, make mistakes and laugh and sing to your hearts content!

However, when we say, “if you don’t know the dance please exit the floor,” please exit for the safety of others around you. These dances are more difficult and have twists and turns you can’t know are coming. One or more can get hurt and we don’t want pile ups on our dance floor. In addition, the dancers that know the harder dances have worked hard to learn them and should be able to enjoy the dance without worries of running into someone who doesn’t.

At 8:00 we will learn an intermediate dance called Chomping At The Bit by Harmony.

Thank you to Ruhstaller Farm for supporting our dance community and Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer!

All ages are welcome! Please note that music is non edited pop, country and hip hop.
