The NPO Keep Mama Smiling supports families raising children with illnesses. The organization particularly focuses on assisting families who stay with their hospitalized children, providing meal support through the “Meals de Smiling” initiative for families staying in pediatric wards or family houses. Additionally, they run the “Support Pack Distribution Project,” which offers free food and supplies to families who stay long-term in pediatric wards to be with their children. Since its establishment in 2014, the organization has supported over 10,000 families.
This year, as part of their ongoing mission, they are running the “Smiling Family Days 2023 ~ #YouCanBeASupporterToo” campaign for five weeks, from Mother’s Day (May 14) to Father’s Day (June 18).
In support of this campaign, our company contributed the following gifts:
