Duke PTCT Family Support Program

As we come to the end of this year, we invite you to gently slow down and notice. Notice the moments, both quiet and meaningful, that have shaped the months behind us. The shared laughter and tears, the presence offered during hard days, and the simple acts of care that reminded families they were not alone. This year held many such moments, including the 25th Annual Rainbow of Heroes Walk, a milestone inviting us to notice the compassion and commitment at the heart of this community. 🌈

Throughout the year, your support has continued to be a steady light. Because of you, families navigating challenging journeys felt seen, supported, and held. Every step taken, every encouraging word offered, and every act of generosity mattered. Together, we honored what it means to walk alongside families, reminding us that noticing, caring, and responding can create real and lasting impact.

As we look ahead to a new year, may we carry this spirit forward, continuing to notice what truly matters, to celebrate both milestones and everyday moments, and to nurture spaces where hope and healing can grow. Thank you for being part of this community and for helping to bring comfort, strength, and connection to those who need it most. ❤️

This month, we’ve been celebrating 20 years of partnership with the Aflac Holiday Duck Campaign! This collaboration has helped bring joy and support to countless PTCT patients and families. NC residents can make an impact with every duck purchased online, with proceeds directly benefitting our Family Support Program. Visit bit.ly/Aflac2025 to order. Shipping is free nationwide. Happy Holidays! 🌟

We are grateful for every child, every caregiver, and every team member who helps make the PTCT Family Support Program what it is.
Our team was honored to share a Thanksgiving meal with PTCT families and staff yesterday - a simple but meaningful reminder of how powerful community can be.
