Make a difference in the lives of pediatric cancer patients...

Flashes of Hope is a non-profit organization which creates uplifting portraits of children facing cancer. The portraits do more than capture a moment in time: they change the way children see themselves. We celebrate and preserve forever the bravery, grace and dignity of each child. Each family is presented with a generous portrait portfolio, free of charge.

Flashes of Hope provides hope and support to those who are touched by pediatric cancer by helping to provide special days of pampering and fun for the children. Flashes of Hope give an invaluable treasure to families who could use something positive in their lives at such a challenging time.

Flashes of Hope never solicit the families who receive our gift. Please join us in making a difference in the lives of pediatric cancer patients. Ultimately, our goal is to photograph every child until there is a cure.

“We feel we have been given a precious time capsule. Though Drew has struggled and continues to face his battle for his life, the pictures capture a moment in our lives that is shaping and molding the character of our whole family. We look at the smile on our precious son's face and remember that even in life's hardest times, we can continue to sing the song of hope in our hearts. You've given us a gift that will forever remind us of his wonderful grace. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Thanks to all of you who turned a very difficult time for Elizabeth (and us) into something to celebrate. Our photos show Elizabeth as being happy and healthy again after she was so sick. We appreciate everyone's kindness and generosity in creating such a wonderful keepsake for us to cherish. Words cannot express how you have made me feel when I look at these pictures of my beautiful daughter." – Mom

"I just had to stop and take some time to recognize and thank you for the amazing program you have put together for the families that are going through amazingly difficult times in our life. I just received pictures of my daughter, Alanna Marcotte that you had taken at Children's Hospital, Boston and I must say I broke down and cried tears of joy and amazement. The beautiful images, moments and memories that you have put together of our angel will be everlasting reminders of this particular time in our life. The photos are perfect demonstrations of the amazing strength and happiness that have consistently shined through Alanna through her entire battle with cancer. These smiles that you have captured could not be of any more value to us."
