From Pain to Purpose: Brooklynn's Impact on Our Mission
Brooklynn embodied the essence of a typical, joyful, and seemingly healthy 12-year-old girl. She adored Stitch, axolotls, and gnomes, finding delight in their whimsical charm.

Brooklynn embodied the essence of a typical, joyful, and seemingly healthy 12-year-old girl. She adored Stitch, axolotls, and gnomes, finding delight in their whimsical charm. Her passions ranged from running and painting to participating in Bible Quiz and indulging in arts and crafts activities. However, on July 21, 2023, Brooklynn's world changed when she received a diagnosis of stage 4 Osteosarcoma. Despite a valiant fight, marked by intensive but unsuccessful high-dose chemotherapy, Brooklynn peacefully gained her wings on October 27, 2023.
Before departing, Brooklynn entrusted her mother with a solemn promise - to establish a foundation in her name, dedicated to supporting other children battling cancer. Her desire was simple yet profound: to alleviate the suffering of fellow young warriors. At TBMF, we honor Brooklynn's legacy by striving to bring smiles, raise awareness, and advocate fiercely for those engaged in the fight against cancer.
Empowering Hope: Explore Our Programs
Brooklynn's BAGs
Forever in our Hearts
Brooklynn's BAGs
This initiative marks the genesis of our nonprofit foundation. Inspired by Brooklynn's love for giving and receiving gifts, Brooklynn's BAGs fulfills her heartfelt wish to provide personalized gifts to children battling cancer. Each bag is thoughtfully curated with handpicked items tailored to each child's unique preferences and needs. Additionally, a handcrafted item adds a personal touch, symbolizing the love that goes into every bag. Brooklynn wanted to include her dear friends Ava and Gabriel in her foundation so the BAGs in the program stands for Brooklynn, Ava, and Gabe, three innocent children brought together by the same monster. Gabriel Wells, born July 19, 2012, was diagnosed with stage 4, high-grade Osteosarcoma in May 2023 and gained his wings on October 15, 2023. He enjoyed playing sports, collecting Pokémon, and being a great big brother. His contagious smile always filled a room and is dearly missed. In loving memory of Gabriel, whose foundation's mission is making children as comfortable as possible during their hospital stays by providing blankets, each BAG sent out will contain a blanket in addition to the other items personally picked for each warrior. Along with his family, we hope this brings comfort during a difficult journey.
Couples Care Kit
Forever in our Hearts
Brooklynn's BAGs
Designed to support parents of children receiving hospice care, this program offers a moment of connection and respite amidst challenging times. We understand the difficulty of prioritizing relationships while caring for a critically ill child. The Couples Care Kit provides a comforting opportunity for parents to nurture their bond from the comfort of home, recognizing the importance of sustaining connections during times of adversity.

These gifts serve as a touching tribute to the enduring spirit of their beloved warrior, providing solace and remembrance during moments of reflection.
