Why Video Games?
A reminder of how the support for Alex's Arcade truly helps kids cope with cancer.
Meet Felix!
An 8 year old boy, Boston, MA, diagnosed with leukemia in December.
His family contacted Alex's Arcade asking if we could help with some games to help him cope during his treatments.
They explained his love of video games, but like many families that have child diagnosed with cancer the funds just aren't there for the "extras".
Like many families, household incomes are cut in half as one parent usually stays with their child, putting a strain on finances.
We were more than happy to help Felix and his Family!
His smile says it all when he received his care package.
Not only did Felix receive his games, there were plenty of surprises for his parents and siblings too.
We all know no family fights cancer alone!
And we couldn't do this without the support of Alex's Arcade by so many of you!
