Cadillac Presents Laptops for Love

Facebook. Twitter. Instant messaging. Social media has become a part of our culture. The technological revolution can especially be seen among pre-teens, teenagers and the young adult population. That’s where Laptops for Love comes in.

Laptops for Love is one of the social assistance programs provided by Heroes for Children that donates new laptops to teenagers and young adults battling cancer. The power of this program can often help change a patient’s outlook through the course of treatment by providing a link to the outside world allowing them to keep up with schoolwork, and more importantly, communicate with friends and family through social media. This effort is keeping kids with cancer connected. In 2010, 130 patients received brand new laptops through the program. You can help make 2011 even more successful. For more information about Laptops for Love, visit heroesforchildren.org.

Cadillac Presents Heroes for Children

With an estimated 12,400 children currently suffering from cancer in the United States, Cadillac Cares Challenge recognized the immense need for an organization such as Heroes for Children to receive a media campaign to spread awareness of its efforts. Heroes for Children provides financial and social assistance to families within the state of Texas with children battling cancer by providing monetary support for everyday expenses, such as mortgage payments or medical bills, and offers social assistance programs designed to meet social and emotional needs of the family. Using these components, the nonprofit allows the family to focus on the most important part of cancer treatment—the child. For more information or to make a donation, visit heroesforchildren.org.
