“Everyone at Manning Family Children’s has a big heart. They’re very patient and very thorough. The communication is great. They explain to us when and why everything is happening. I’m so appreciative of everything they have done for my son and our family.”
When Peyton was seven, he began experiencing scary symptoms: first he developed antibiotic-resistant flu and pneumonia, then lightheadedness, headaches, extreme fatigue, and even a seizure.
Peyton was brought to the expert care team at the Manning Family Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders where he was diagnosed with a genetic mutation that was causing an autoimmune deficiency. Peyton would need a bone-marrow transplant for long-term recovery. Now, over two years later, Peyton is getting ready to ring the bell and go home.
Your Give NOLA Day early donation helps kids like Peyton, who has spent over two years receiving life-saving treatment at Manning Family Children’s.

This Occupational Therapy Month, we're giving a huge THANK YOU to the rehab team at Manning Family Children's!
Our occupational therapists help kids move, grow, and thrive every single day, and that is something truly special. They provide evaluations and therapy to help children gain independence and promote the development of skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play and community environments.
To our OT team, we are so grateful for all that you do! 🙌

There are babies in our NICU right now who arrived in the world weeks or months too soon. They're tiny, they're fierce, and they're fighting hard. So are their parents: camped out in chairs next to incubators, sleeping in shifts, counting breaths.
Your $25 supplies a NICU baby with diapers for an entire week. It sounds small. But when you're living in a hospital, the small things are everything.
Give NOLA Day is May 5, but early giving is open NOW. Be part of the fight for our tiniest patients.

You don't have to wait until May 5 to make an undeniable impact. Early giving allows us the opportunity to secure additional funding to change the future of healthcare for our community's children, but we can't do it without you!

Our Child Life team, Child Life practicum student, and Southeastern Child Life students hosted a Teddy Bear Clinic, and over 50 of our little patients got to step into the doctor's role for the day! 🐾🩺 Kids chose their very own stuffed animal, gave it a name, created a medical chart, and took on everything from checking weights and giving immunizations to MRIs, X-rays, IV placement, labs, and even casting—all for their furry patient!
Teddy Bear Clinics are a meaningful Child Life intervention that help children make sense of their healthcare experience through play. By taking the "doctor" role, kids gain a sense of control, learn to express their feelings, build coping skills, and feel more at home in the hospital environment.
Big thanks to our Southeastern Child Life students for making this day so special!
