How one woman uses the magic of Disney princesses to bring joy to kids with terminal illnesses
Always Banks is the creator and executive director of the princess program foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that brings joy to children with terminal illnesses by offering in person and zoom meetings with princesses.
Since 2017, Banks and her merry group of volunteers have been delighting children with terminal illnesses across the United States and internationally, all while she is also working on her own personal nursing degree.
According to the national cancer institute, each year in the United States, an estimated 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with Cancer before their 20th birthday.
As difficult as this news is to receive for an adult, learning this as a child is not only difficult to understand, but also starts a path of treatment that is draining both emotionally and physically.
My guest tonight aims to alleviate those painful events for children by sharing an experience with their favorite princess and superhero characters, and her videos with these children are truly magical.
We discuss the heart-wrenching story of how her organization got started, the dedication and dexterity it takes to keep character in difficult conversations, and the emotional response Alyssa and the princesses get when a child tells them they rung the bell to beat cancer.
