Love’s Fuels the Vision to Change Kids’ Health August 23 – September 27

Love’s Travel Stops wants to help Studer Family Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals transform kids’ and families’ lives in the future.

Children’s hospitals are at the frontlines when it comes to protecting kids’ health. But they can’t do it alone. Not only does Love’s Travel Stops provide fuel to customers, including those who move consumer products that impact society, but they also change kids’ health.

When you are visiting your local Love’s along the Gulf Coast now through September 27th, you can buy a balloon for $1, $5, $20 benefiting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Donations provide help local member hospitals provide services like child life, pet therapy, outdoor gardens and more to help kids cope under stressful situations. Through these donations, Studer Family Children’s Hospital can provide treatments and healing patients desperately need today so that they can fulfill their potential for tomorrow.

Thanks to donations, patients like Elliot were able to receive life-saving care close to home. When Elliot was only three, he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma. After surgery to remove the tumor along with his eye, his family thought they were out of the woods. However, after his cancer returned, Elliot began chemotherapy at Studer Family Children’s Hospital. During his treatment at Studer Family Children’s Hospital, Elliot formed strong bonds with his caregivers. His physical therapist, Mark, left a lasting impression on him. Heather, Elliot’s mom says, “I remember Mark coming in and he was just like sunlight. He knew how to help him, but he also knew how to become a friend.” Elliot is now 5-years cancer free! He says, “I want to be what Mr. Mark was. He helps people get strong and he makes people laugh.” Elliot is now learning to play guitar, loves rock music, and is a walking rock anthology.

Thanks to you and Love’s along the Gulf Coast for helping change kids’ health to change the future at Studer Family Children’s Hospital.
