One hospital visit changed everything.
When our founder Aeshaan Singhal was just five years old, he set out to help kids fighting cancer. He donated his birthday gifts and, with his mom's guidance, put on a talent show at his guitar school — selling greeting cards, his own artwork, and homemade brownies along the way. Together, it raised $1,980.
When they went to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital to hand over the donation, they were waiting in the lobby when a little girl passed by, dragging a Radio Flyer wagon piled with books behind her. She was smaller than Aeshaan, in a hospital gown, with no hair. As his mother tells it, he turned and asked what had happened to the little girl's hair — and learned she was likely going through treatment for cancer. That moment left a mark. From then on, his mom says, she never once had to convince him to help.
