Our Purpose
Mission
The Angela Makiya Foundation exists to support children and families affected by cancer through emotional reassurance, practical relief, and moments of light during an otherwise overwhelming journey. Rooted in lived experience, the foundation provides thoughtful support that helps families feel seen, cared for, and less alone.
Vision
We envision a world where no individual or family facing cancer feels isolated, unsupported, or defined by their diagnosis, and where compassion, dignity, and humanity are central to the care experience.
Our Core Initiatives
Our programs focus on thoughtful impact, dignity, and presence, recognizing that even small acts of care can make a meaningful difference.
Color With Courage Initiative
The Color with courage initiative provides custom designed coloring books to children undergoing cancer treatment in hospitals across Detroit. The program offers a creative and calming outlet for children during long hospital stays, medical appointments, and treatment days.
