Alphabet of Hope – #RbChildLife
Caring for a child with retinoblastoma is so much more than treating the cancer. Child life focuses on the whole child – supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs during stressful medical experiences, empowering families, and transforming care through education and play.
The #RbChildLife Alphabet of Hope highlights simple approaches and vital supports that help children with eye cancer and their families thrive during treatment and beyond.

Lisa Hester
In Loving Memory
Our Child Life Alphabet is dedicated to the memory of Lisa Hester, our much-loved WE C Hope USA Director, who tragically died on July 31, 2024.
Lisa was a passionate advocate for child life supports, both for her son, Elijah, and for all children with retinoblastoma. She championed the power of child life to help children thrive through medical care, and was deeply committed to advancing this vital support worldwide.
Lisa leaves an enduring legacy of hope, compassion, and action. In her memory, we continue to advance child life for children and families affected by retinoblastoma across the USA and around the world.
