Loving Libbie Memorial Foundation

A community services foundation supporting families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Its Comfort Through Food program provides specialty comfort foods, including mac and cheese and chicken and dumplings, to pediatric patients during treatment. The program began in Central Texas in 2006 and expanded in 2018 to the Vannie Cook, Jr. Pediatric Cancer Clinic and affiliated DHR hospital in the lower Rio Grande Valley. The foundation was created in memory of Libbie Nichols, who died of leukemia at age five. Its work addresses children's difficulty eating during treatment and offers nutritional and psychosocial support for patients and their families. Food is provided to patients at no charge.
