Impact & Improve the lives of Kansas children
Kansas Children’s Foundation (formerly Wesley Children’s Foundation) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial and emotional support to children and families across the state of Kansas.
Your generosity directly impacts the lives of Kansas children
When a child is diagnosed with an illness or injury, it can turn a family’s entire world upside down. We are here to alleviate some of the financial burden and offer emotional support to make life a little less stressful.
Meet Emmett
Just One Of Many Amazing Testimonies
2 hours after delivery Emmett was diagnosed with Down syndrome. After a healthy first year he began battling chronic pneumonia and feeding/swallowing issues. This led to monthly hospital stays to treat his lungs and figure out how to get him strong and health. During this time, any hospital staff member knew that if they were going to come into his room, there would always be music. The Kansas Children’s foundation supports ill and injured children with a wonderful music therapy program, and Emmett has benefited greatly during his stays by the comfort of the music provided through Kansas Children’s Foundation.
A Message From Mom
There are few things as hard as seeing your child suffer through sickness, especially when it involves a hospital stay. It brought me great comfort knowing that Emmett had the resources provided through music therapy to help him get through blood draws, suctioning, echocardiograms, x-rays, and surgery. He would instantly calm down after the music began, and for that I am deeply thankful.
