Cancer treatment can be isolating for the children with cancer, so we came up with a solution
links! is a program of the Childhood Cancer Lifeline that gives laptop packages to recently diagnosed school-aged children of so they can stay connected to school, family, and friends. To qualify for this program, you must have an Application for Family Services on file with the Lifeline.
We wrap the packages up like a present and hand deliver them to the children that need them. Each package includes:
a new laptop
a bag to carry it in
a wireless mouse
age-appropriate software
a four-year warranty
“Lifeline, this laptop hasn’t just improved my life, it changed my whole world!”

What People Are Saying
“I love my new laptop, It is so light. I miss a lot of school so I can now attend class from anywhere - even clinic.”
— Laptop Package Recipient, age 6
“The benefits of the Childhood Cancer Lifeline’s links! program cannot be overstated. Treatment protocols for pediatric cancers are typically long and intense. Many of our patients remain on treatment for two years or more and endure hospital admissions that last weeks or months. Long hospital stays can be both isolating and boring; the laptops provided to our patients by lInks! help them occupy their time and keep them connected with family and friends. This program has truly been a godsend to our patients and their families.”
— Pediatric Resource Program Manager
“I am greatly thankful for the generous gift of a laptop. In the short time I’ve had it, it’s helped me keep up with school after missing many days due to treatment.”
