"This day is for all of us.

Una sa lahat, sa ating mga magulang, maraming salamat po. Sa bawat nanay at tatay na nagpuyat, humawak sa kamay namin kapag masakit ang lahat, nagpunas ng luha, at hindi sumuko sa amin kahit gaano pa kahirap.

Kayo ang unang nagbigay sa amin ng lakas. Kayo ang aming sandalan. Salamat dahil kahit mahirap ang lahat, hindi kayo umalis, hindi kayo sumuko." - Airyen, Kythe Cancer Survivor

Join us as we relive the recently concluded Graduation Day, “Hand in Hand Towards Hope and Healing: A Celebration of Courage, Triumph, and New Beginnings.” 🌈

This special day represents countless hospital visits, treatments, moments of uncertainty, days of strength, and days when simply getting through the day was already an achievement.

To our chemo graduates, you made it this far—and we are incredibly proud of you! 🤩 Your courage, strength, and perseverance have brought you to this beautiful milestone.

To everyone who walked alongside our survivors throughout their journey, thank you for being there every step of the way. Your love, support, and encouragement have been an important part of their journey toward healing.

And to everyone who joined us as we celebrated and sent our survivors off into a new chapter of their lives, thank you for making this milestone even more meaningful. 🫶

Here’s to new beginnings, brighter tomorrows, and a life filled with hope and endless possibilities. 🌈✨

Congratulations, our chemo graduates! You are survivors, you are warriors, and today, we celebrate YOU! 💜

For the past years, we’ve been supporting Kythe Foundation through a program called “Adopt a Patient.”

Seeing these brave young warriors fight battles no child should ever have to face puts everything into perspective.
Many of the kids here are battling cancer and other chronic illnesses, and medical care and expensive treatments can quickly become overwhelming for their families.

On their shirts, you’ll read a message that stays with you: “I help pediatric patients with cancer and chronic illness to learn, play, and grow even while they are confined in the hospital.”
That is what Kythe’s Child Life Program is all about—bringing childhood back into hospital rooms through emotional support, play therapy, and essential assistance.

Through the Adopt a Patient program, ANYONE can step in and provide steady, year-round hope. By sponsoring a child yearly, you help cover vital treatments, diagnostic procedures, and psychosocial support so that financial constraints don’t stand between a brave child and their chance at recovery.

We recently gathered to host a special party and get-together, made possible alongside our fellow passionate Kythe volunteers. It was a day dedicated purely to letting these kids just be kids—playing games, bonding, sharing meals, and filling the room with smiles and laughter.

But more than that, we distributed Bible devotionals, shared Bible study stories, and prayed for everyone in small groups and shared the good news about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. ❤️

(Note: We share these heartfelt moments with the full consent and permission of the brave kids and their parents, with the hope that by telling their stories, more hearts will open up to support them and their families.)

The Lord blesses all of us in different ways, it’s time to be a blessing to the kids. Send a direct message to @kythefoundation today to learn how you can adopt a patient or support their mission yearly. by @kythefoundation

As part of the celebration of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, patients and their families at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center came together for a meaningful day centered on something that matters in every child’s journey: nutrition and nourishment. 🍲

Through the joint initiative of the PCMC Cancer and Hematology Division, Nutrition and Dietetics Division, and Philippine Cancer Center, our young warriors and their families learned that healthy eating can still be creative and delicious!

The guest chef whipped up a healthy chicken sandwich paired with kamote tops juice, with our kids joining in the preparation and, of course, enjoying the yummy and healthy creations afterwards! And the food didn’t stop there! The generous food partners also treated the families to coffee, ice cream, taho, healthy snacks, and lunch food packs for everyone to enjoy. 😋

Through an educational skit, the common eating challenges during chemotherapy were creatively presented, as well as simple ways to respond, like offering small, frequent meals when appetite is low, instead of forcing a child to eat.

And because no one understands the journey quite like another parent, a fellow mom also shared her own experiences and some easy, healthy, warrior-approved recipes that are sure to be family favorites!

It was a morning filled with learning, laughter, yummy bites, and shared stories.

This #NationalMentalHealthMonth, we join the Philippine Mental Health Association in calling for a culture where mental health is understood, valued, and cared for.

For children and families facing illness, the journey can bring not only physical challenges, but also fear, uncertainty, and emotions that can be difficult to express.

Together, let’s create spaces where every child feels safe to speak, play, feel, and simply be themselves. Let’s listen without judgment, offer support without hesitation, and remind one another that no one has to face difficult moments alone. 🤗

May we strengthen our minds, nurture our well-being, and look after one another. 🫂

This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, the Kythe ChildLife Team turned awareness into action. On September 11, the team conducted Pocketful of ChildLife Training at the Hematology and Oncology Unit of Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC), led by Kythe ChildLife Manager Carol Tongco, ChildLife Officer for Luzon Hospitals Mye de Jesus, and Child Life Coordinators Isha Anino, Camille Calda, and Charm Mercado. 🎗

The session brought together doctors, nurses, social workers, patient navigators, and other healthcare providers to deepen their understanding of ChildLife and its role in supporting pediatric patients and their families. 💉🩺🧸

Participants also learned about One Voice, a practice in which one healthcare provider communicates during procedures and treatments to reduce confusion and ensure clear, coordinated communication with the child and family.

Each participant received a Pocketful of ChildLife Kit filled with practical tools and resources for daily interactions with pediatric patients. The kits offer simple yet meaningful ways to promote coping, reduce anxiety, and create more positive healthcare experiences. 🌈

Through initiatives like this, healthcare providers can become Kythe ChildLife partners—working alongside the ChildLife Team to help children and families feel more prepared, supported, and empowered during medical care. This marks the first of many Pocketful of ChildLife trainings to come.

This milestone is a testament to their bravery, perseverance, and unwavering hope. Every hospital visit, every difficult day, and every sacrifice made along the way has brought them to this beautiful moment. We also honor not only the completion of their treatment, but the smiles, stories, shared moments, and simple joys that have carried them through every step of their journey.

Here’s to brighter days, bigger dreams, and many more milestones to come. ☀️

At just six years old, Myrtle is already facing a battle few children ever have to endure. 😷

Myrtle was diagnosed with Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumor, a rare and aggressive type of cancer. According to her mother, Charlene, Myrtle’s doctors shared that the condition is extremely rare, with only about 1% of cases reported worldwide.

Myrtle was also the first known case at Philippine Children’s Medical Center.
Their journey has been filled with difficult battles. One of the hardest was losing Myrtle’s left arm, a painful sacrifice made in the fight to save her life. Yet through every challenge, Myrtle and her family continue to hold on to hope. 🎗

“I am proud of my daughter,” Charlene shares, while also expressing her admiration for every child and person bravely fighting cancer. For Charlene, hope remains their greatest strength. She believes that even the things that seem impossible can become possible when they continue to hold on and trust in God.🙏

Myrtle still has battles ahead, but her story reminds us that courage is not about having an easy journey—it is about continuing to fight, one day at a time.

Keep fighting, Myrtle. We are rooting for you! 💪🤗

#ChildhoodCancerAwareness is also about understanding the experiences of children and teens living with cancer. Beyond diagnosis, treatment, and hospital visits, they still have interests, talents, relationships, dreams, and everyday experiences that matter to them. 🏀🏊‍♀️🎮🎨
