We are excited to announce the opening of our newest location in Omaha, Nebraska.  Amy and Andy Krause, the aunt and uncle of Gabby Krause, are proud to bring happiness wrapped up in a backpack to the children in Omaha who are going through a really tough time.

It’s every parent’s absolute worst nightmare. Your young child has an illness. A serious illness, one that might take his or her life. In the case Tammy Krause, the child was her daughter, and just 5 years old. Gabby Krause was found with a malignant tumor in her head one day before her 5th birthday....

Gabby was one of my best friends , our Moms were friends and I don’t ever remember a time when I didn’t know her.  We would laugh and play.  We swam together every day in the summers and loved spending the night at each other’s houses.  We made cookies at Gabby’s house and had BBQ...

The University of Denver men’s and women’s lacrosse teams have volunteered for Bags of Fun for the past 5 years.  Stuffing and delivering Bags of Fun to kids who are in the fight of their lives is the highlight of their day.  The smiles that they receive from the kids at the hospital is pretty spectacular as well.

Dr. Leonard has been involved with Bags of Fun for almost 10 years. He personally delivers the Bags of Fun to his surgical patients. Check out this story of how he and his team, in conjunction with Samaritan’s Purse, are changing the lives of some incredible children and their families.
