You Bring Us Joy!

Daystar Kids depends on the generosity of friends like you to provide vital services for children with complex medical issues and special needs. Thanks for giving Daystar Kids a bright and happy future.

Daystar Kids depends on your generous donations to help children with complex health care conditions learn, thrive and shine. And the love and learning they receive every day lasts a lifetime---and launches a lifetime of health, independence, and fulfillment. 

Rest assured, we are responsible stewards of your gifts. More than 93 cents of every dollar donated goes straight to the heart of our mission: providing expert pediatric nursing care, therapeutic services, early childhood and special education programs, and family support services at NY’s one and only Pediatric Respite Center.

An Honor or Memorial Gift is a special way to honor a loved one. It's an enduring tribute celebrating a loved one’s spirit and legacy, and is a thoughtful way to tell someone you care. An Honor or Memorial Gift is the perfect remembrance for a family member, or friend, in recognition of a retirement, wedding, birthday or other special occasion.

Consider a gift that provides ongoing support and encouragement for a child whose development has been disrupted by long periods of hospitalization and treatments for their medical conditions. Schedule your recurring monthly donation here. It’s easy and convenient and it helps save on paper and mailing costs, allowing more of your investment to fund life-changing services for a Daystar Kid.

There are many ways to support Daystar Kids. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
