A Small Gesture, A Big Impact

There are many sleepless nights for the families that The Big Z Foundation serves—nights spent in hospital rooms, where the sounds of monitors, frequent check-ins, and early morning doctor rounds make rest almost impossible. Yet, even in these moments of exhaustion, a small act of kindness can offer a moment of comfort.

Zach’s mom, Kelly, remembers these moments vividly:

Walking to get my coffee in the morning was a blessing. It allowed me to get out of the room for a quick break, a leg stretch, and a moment to clear my mind. The hot coffee warmed my body and soul during those cold hospital mornings. It was a small thing, but it meant everything.
— Kelly Hoefler (Zach's mom)

Why a Cup of Coffee Matters

A hot cup of coffee is more than just a beverage. It’s a chance for a parent to breathe, to regroup, and to face another day with strength for their child. It’s a simple act of care that says, “You’re not alone.”

With Starbucks locations inside or just steps away from our partner hospitals, a gift card can provide that much-needed pick-me-up to parents navigating long and challenging hospital stays.
