After months of care, learning, and progress… it’s finally time.

Kayden is going home.

“I hope we can stay home for a very long time… and he just keeps growing.”

We’re proud to have supported Kayden and his family every step of the way - and can’t wait to see all that comes next.

Being in the hospital shouldn’t mean missing out on the magic of the holidays. We loved bringing a little extra joy to our patients with a special visit from the Easter Bunny - because every child deserves moments of fun, laughter and celebration, no matter where they are.

An afternoon on stage. A lasting impact. 💚

At their recent Boston family show, the Dropkick Murphys brought more than music - they brought the same heart and connection they’ve shared with Franciscan Children’s for years.

From unforgettable visits that light up our campus to moments that mean the world to our kids, this partnership continues to make a difference in ways that go far beyond one afternoon.

Thank you, Dropkick Murphys and The Claddagh Fund, for being part of our community and for the joy you bring to the children and families we serve.

For Dr. De la Torre, every mile is more than a race - it’s a way to support kids and families in need.

Dr. De la Torre, a pediatric surgeon based in Denver, sees every day what strength looks like in the children and families facing serious and complex medical challenges. As a proud member of the 2026 Franciscan Children’s Boston Marathon Team, he’s running to stand beside those families and help create brighter futures for the kids who rely on our care.
