Together, we’re charting a bold future for child health fueled by two strong Louisiana legacies.

Meet Lionisha Morris and her daughter Makya. Last year, Makya was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, at just 13 years old. In the midst of fear and prayer, Lionisha knew she needed a strong support system by her side.

During that difficult time—while she was out of work—The Al Copeland Foundation stepped in to support her family by helping with their mortgage, housing costs, and putting food on the table. That support allowed Lionisha to focus on what mattered most: being there for her daughter.

Today, Makya is 14 and doing amazing. Her family calls her a “walking testimony,” and they’re grateful to be spending the holidays together at home.

Thank you to the Al Copeland Foundation for standing by families when they need it most and making moments of hope possible. 💛

Thanks to Ms. Linda and our incredible anonymous donor, we were able to shop for $3,000 worth of amazing toys! From mini basketball goals used in rehab, infant toys that support healthy growth and development, arts and crafts that help children process emotions during hospital stays, to fun therapeutic toys that help normalize the environment and provide distraction, every item makes a meaningful impact.

This marks the 13th year we have been able to make this happen thanks to LEARNING EXPRESS TOYS OF METAIRIE, LA and the same anonymous donor. It’s not only a joyful experience for our staff, but it also allows the Child Life and Creative Therapies team to continue doing the work they love, serving our patients and families in the best way possible—with the supplies they need to do it well.

We are endlessly grateful at Manning Family Children's for our amazing donors and community support that help us provide the very best care 😊

For nearly three years, The Al Copeland Foundation Patient Assistance Fund at Manning Family Children’s has provided much needed assistance to help relieve burdens our families are facing while their children are battling a cancer diagnosis and treatment journey – something a family should never face. This year, at the foundation's Life and Legacy event, Al and Liz Copeland presented Lou Fragoso, President and CEO of Manning Family Children's with a check for $50,000 for the Copeland Patient Assistance Fund as part of their steadfast commitment to helping us say yes to every child, every time - regardless of the family's ability to pay.
We thank Al and Liz Copeland and the amazing community that supports the Al Copeland Foundation for the tangible difference they have made in the lives of those we serve.

Thanks to a generous grant from The Toy Foundation, our Child Life department was able to purchase a Vecta Deluxe Portable Sensory Station for use in the Manning Family Children's Emergency Department. The Vecta is able to turn any room or space into a relaxing, distracting and empowering Multi-Sensory Room offering relief and comfort to patients who are experiencing frustration or high anxiety that often accompany a hospital stay, especially when visiting the Emergency Department. The Vecta will help our Child Life Specialists create an accessible and soothing environment for patients of all ages.

Meet Lydia Martinez and her son Hezekiah, who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia just days before his 2nd birthday. Throughout their time at the hospital, the exceptional team of doctors and nurses who cared for her son with compassion and skill, became like family.​ Hezekiah recently underwent a successful bone marrow transplant, and, incredibly, his mom, Lidia, was a match and able to serve as his donor.

After a tough journey, Hezi is now a happy, energetic 3-year-old thriving beyond all expectations. Lydia shares her heartfelt gratitude to The Al Copeland Foundation for covering life-saving medication and supporting their family through the hardest time—helping her son heal and recover.

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the NICU,
tiny babies were dreaming, as Santa came through.
With Mrs. Claus by his side, spreading love and good cheer,
the babies first Christmas to cherish all year. 🎅 🤶

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Manning Family Children's!
