A million from one
You are not alone in this.
Project Sunflower is a community where kids and teens who have faced chronic illness come together to share, connect, and build friendships that last a lifetime.
Our mission
To create a safe, welcoming space where young people who have experienced chronic illness can give and receive the kind of support that only comes from someone who truly understands.
What Project Sunflower does
A few of the ways we help medical teens feel seen, heard, and supported.
Peer connections
Meet other teens who have walked a similar path. Share stories, laugh, vent, and grow together.
Safe conversations
Talk openly about medical experiences, life after diagnosis, and everything in between without judgment.
Lifelong friendships
Build real relationships with people who get it — friendships that extend far beyond the hospital.
Programs built for connection
From virtual hangouts and discussion groups to local meetups and creative events, every program is designed to help medical teens feel less alone.
Virtual teen circles
Weekly online meetups where teens share experiences and support each other in a moderated space.
Local sunflower meetups
In-person gatherings for members to connect through activities, outings, and shared meals.
Creative expression workshops
Art, writing, and music sessions that help members process their stories in a supportive way.
