Episode 3: Kim Stanley from Braden's Hope for Childhood Cancer

Episode Summary

In this episode of The Giving Nook, I’m joined by the inspiring Kim Stanley, Executive Director of Braden’s Hope for Childhood Cancer, a Kansas City-based nonprofit that’s rewriting the narrative for kids fighting cancer. Kim shares the deeply personal story behind Braden’s Hope, how one little boy’s battle sparked a movement, and how the organization is funding groundbreaking research to bring HOPE to children and families nationwide. We dive into the realities of pediatric cancer funding, the power of community-driven philanthropy, and the lessons Kim has learned leading a mission rooted in love, courage, and relentless determination. Whether you're a nonprofit leader, donor, or someone who believes in hope against all odds, this conversation will move you. Learn more or donate: www.bradenshope.org
