Thanks to a generous donor, now every dollar you give by December 31st will be matched—up to $15,000. You can DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT and create even more possibilities for teens and young adults living with serious illness.
For many teens and young adults living with serious chronic illness, life can feel defined by limits—hospital visits, treatments, and unpredictable symptoms can make them feel isolated, unseen and unsure about their future. Because of you, seriously ill young people are setting goals, forming friendships, and imagining lives filled with possibility—helping them grow into adults with confidence, resilience, and dreams beyond their diagnosis.
At Next Step, young people discover that their illness does not define them, it informs them. They begin to speak differently—instead of “I am this condition,” they now say, “I live with this condition.” Next Step participants explore new passions, try new skills, and take the first steps toward goals they once thought impossible.
“Instead of falling off a cliff, now it feels like maybe I can fly.”
NEXT STEP PARTICIPANT
Together, we can help even more young people see a future full of possibilities. Your support last year made a real difference for young people living with serious illness. By renewing your gift today, you’ll help them turn uncertainty into hope, limits into opportunities, and dreams into reality—and right now, every dollar you give will be matched up to $15,000, doubling your impact.
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones—thank you for making this transformation possible!
