Our Mission
Making a Difference
Lila’s Fund is dedicated to easing the emotional and financial burdens of families with hospitalized children. When funds are available, we provide $25–$50 gift cards to families staying at Ronald McDonald House Charities of West Michigan and Ann Arbor, helping relieve everyday expenses during extended hospital stays. We also supply essential wish list items for the House and C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital to support families’ daily needs. Through our Cups of Kindness coffee program in the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital Congenital Heart Center Family Lounges, we offer fresh coffee and tea to bring moments of comfort during long, difficult days. In Lila’s memory, we share hope, compassion, and kindness when they are needed most.
Our commitment extends beyond basic needs; we strive to nurture the spirits of families navigating difficult times. By providing gift cards, monetary donations, fresh coffee in the family lounges, and essential wish list items, we ensure that no family must bear the weight of added stress while caring for a loved one. Spreading Love, Hope, and Support, we empower families to focus on what truly matters: being together during life’s most challenging moments. We cannot express enough gratitude to our supporters! Their generosity and commitment to our mission has truly transformed lives and inspired hope where it was once lost.


"I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue, I'd go crawling down the avenue, Know there's nothing that I wouldn't do, To make you feel my love" -Adele
