About Our Mission
Light Your Candle is a nonprofit organization with a heartfelt mission to bring hope to those facing tough medical challenges. For 15 years, we’ve provided comfort, encouragment and community through decorated TinyTrees, serving countless families.
Bringing Light, Hope, and Joy
Light Your Candle began with our own pediatric cancer journey and has grown into a community movement of hope. Each year, we share decorated TinyTrees with patients at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and beyond—reaching more than 1,500 children, families, seniors, and foster care groups in 2024 alone.
Through our Adopt-a-Family partnership and the Pediatric Oncology Family Fund, we also provide vital financial and emotional support for pediatric families facing long or difficult medical treatments.
✨ For 2025, our goal is 1,700 TinyTrees—help us spread encouragement even further. Together, we can make sure none of these families feels alone in their walk. Be a Light!
