Every child deserves adventure, connection, and joy—even those facing cancer, congenital heart defects, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, diabetes, developmental disabilities, and other chronic illnesses. That’s why we created The Unbreakable Village, a community of committed monthly donors providing life-changing experiences for children with complex medical needs all year long.
The inspiration for this movement comes from Brayden, who was born on March 9th (3/9/09) and lived with incredible courage. Each year, we honored his legacy through 39 for 3/9, a campaign that fueled generosity and made a difference in the lives of children with serious medical conditions. Now, we’re taking that impact even further—turning a single month of giving into a lifelong movement.
By joining The Unbreakable Village, you help children battling critical illnesses and disabilities find hope, build friendships, and experience moments of joy—every single month.
March is more than just a month—it’s a tribute to Brayden’s unwavering courage and the lasting legacy he left behind. Born on March 9th (3/9/09) with 9 as his favorite number, Brayden’s spirit continues to inspire us to create joy for children facing critical medical challenges.
For years, “39 for 3/9” has been a powerful way to honor Brayden and make a real difference in the lives of children battling cancer, congenital heart defects, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, diabetes, developmental disabilities, food allergies, and other serious illnesses.
This year, we’re taking that impact even further. 39 for 3/9 is growing into something bigger—💜 The Unbreakable Village, a community of monthly donors ensuring that the generosity of 39 for 3/9 doesn’t just happen in March but continues every single month, all year long.
Thanks to the Anness Family Fund, the first $833.33 in new monthly donations this March will be matched, unlocking a $10,000 annual impact!
That means your recurring gift in March goes twice as far in bringing joy, hope, and adventure to children with critical illnesses.
