Meet Aniyah

Hi, I’m Aniyah, a junior at Santa Fe High School and the Teen Board Outreach Chair for the Carsyn Neille Foundation. I’m proud to be part of a team dedicated to making a difference for children facing pediatric cancer here in Oklahoma. This year, I’m focused on raising funds to provide Comfort Kits, with a personal goal of 20 Kits to support twenty children and their families.

The mission of our foundation—creating sustainable, non-toxic environments for pediatric cancer patients—resonates deeply with me. I’ve seen firsthand how improving the spaces where these patients live can significantly impact their well-being, beyond the hospital care they receive.

Every donation, volunteer effort, and word shared helps us reach our goal and expand our impact. Your support is crucial in helping us make a meaningful difference. Together, we can create a brighter future for our community. Join me today—let’s make an impact!

Donate a Comfort Kit

Comfort Kits are not just about the physical items; they symbolize our unwavering support. They remind children and their families that they are seen, supported, and never alone in their fight. In Oklahoma, around 140 children are diagnosed with cancer each year, and our goal is to provide Comfort Kits to 1,200 children annually, nationwide. Every $50 donation funds one Comfort Kit, delivering comfort and hope at a time when it’s needed most.

Why Comfort Kits are Critical

Providing Comfort, Care, and Hope to Children Battling Cancer

Comfort Kits consist of essential items specifically curated for children affected by childhood cancer, helping to reduce their exposure to harmful chemicals in the environments where they spend most of their time. These kits are provided quarterly, featuring a Rooms to Thrive™ must-have item to ensure their living spaces are safer and healthier. Occasionally, depending on funding and vendor or company donations, we also include additional comforting items like blankets, toys, books, and personal care products to bring joy and support during treatment.

  • My Personal Goal:

    I’m working hard to fundraise enough to provide50 Comfort Kits this year. Each kit costs $50 and will go directly to children undergoing cancer treatment at OU Children’s Hospital and other pediatric facilities. Reaching this goal would mean serving 20 children and their families, and helping to contribute a sustainable, non-toxic environment for them . Your donation or ticket purchase helps us bring joy and comfort to families during their hardest times.

  • I’ve been a member of the Carsyn Neille Foundation Teen Board for 1 year and have always been passionate about helping children and families impacted by cancer. My work with the foundation has opened my eyes to the challenges these families face, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to support them through the Comfort Kits program. I believe in the power of community and know that, together, we can make a difference!

  • There are two ways you can support my campaign:

    1. Sponsor a Comfort Kit – A $50 donation sponsors one kit, bringing comfort to a child and their family.

    2. Purchase a Pickleball Duo Pass – For $100, you and a partner can join the pickleball tournament and support this cause. It’s a fun and competitive way to get involved while making an impact.

    Your support will directly help children and families who are going through some of the toughest times in their lives. Together, we can make a difference!
