A Kid Again exists to foster hope, happiness and healing for families raising kids with life-threatening illnesses. Families thrust into the situation of having to care for a child with a life-threatening illness are unprepared and usually unequipped to deal with what follows, often feeling they have lost their hold on the situation and their own lives. A Kid Again helps to restore a sense of normalcy for their child and themselves. A Kid Again strives to make life for families caring for a child with a life-threatening illness more like “life” again by helping them gain back moments of solace and a sense of control over their circumstances. We strive to give these kids an opportunity to have fun and feel like they should - the kid they are meant to be each day. Our adventures are designed for kids to have something to look forward to, to have fun with friends and give their sisters, brothers and parents some respite as well. Siblings are often left on the sideline due to the stress and necessary attention/time demands of the ill child. They also give our families a time to connect and network with each other. They empathize and understand what one another is facing. They connect and become resources to one another as well. We take a family-centric approach. A Kid Again is specifically designed to involve the entire family (not just the child who is ill) to improve the well-being of everyone affected by the situation. This approach helps protect and strengthen the children’s primary support network and personal resolve during the most difficult period of their lives. Our program is ongoing and natural. Unlike other “wish” organizations, A Kid Again works to create a communal and interactive environment. Our program establishes ongoing, nurturing experiences that complement but do not overtake their day-to-day living. We strive for a broader impact. A Kid Again strives to go beyond activities, providing comprehensive, practical support to help families cope with the extended effects of life-threatening illnesses. Families become more prepared to more effectively face the uncertainty of their situation with greater confidence and self-esteem.

Microsoft samarbetar med Benevity för att underlätta sina donationer. Poängen du löser in tas från ditt konto direkt. Inom sex veckor efter slutet av den månad du löser in poängen, donerar Microsoft ett kontantbelopp som baseras på dina inlösta poäng till en DAF (donor-advised fund) på Benevity UK Online Giving Foundation (OGF), med en rekommendation att de ger motsvarande bidrag till den ideella organisation som du har valt. OGF har exklusiv juridisk kontroll över donationen Microsofts gör för din räkning. Inlösningar mot donationer återbetalas inte. Om den ideella organisationen du har valt inte kan ta emot donationen (till exempel om den inte längre uppfyller kriterierna för att få delta), eller om det inte går att leverera donationen av någon annan anledning, ges donationen till en annan ideell organisation som Microsoft väljer. De ideella organisationerna har inte godkänts av Microsoft.
