Mission Statement

B.I.G. Love Cancer Care Services will strive to ease the heavy burden that cancer kids and their families have to endure while fighting a life-threatening disease. Our goal is to not only meet some of their most basic needs, but also provide opportunities for laughter, happiness and comfort through servanthood and big love. 
 

Our Beginning

B.I.G Love Cancer Care Services was established by Chaney and Jessica Phillips after their five year old daughter, Princess Brooke, went to her heavenly home. Brooke was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia when she was three years old and for two years fought courageously through intense chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at Texas Children’s Hospital. Throughout the two years of Brooke’s treatment, she taught her family and friends many invaluable things about faith, hope, determination, strength and joy, but most importantly, she taught all of us how wide, long, high and deep love can really be. She loved us up…every minute of every single day. Brooke’s Incredible Gift (B.I.G.) is Love.  

Just days before she passed away in the intensive care unit at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, with all kinds of machines and medicines helping her to breath, she still managed to love us up. She sent out hundreds of kisses and gave the I Love You sign to everyone in the room. She would reach for us, pull us close to her chest and hold us tight. She held a picture of her family close to her heart and kissed it over and over again. She told us repeatedly, “I love you up the sky.” In Brooke’s five years of life, she truly captured our hearts, changed our lives and loved us up. 

Brooke not only loved all her people, but she cared deeply about the cancer kids around her. She prayed for them when they were crying and took them things to cheer them up. It is our desire to honor Brooke by serving and extending big love to other cancer kids and their families who are having to endure the intense burden and strain that we ourselves have had to face. We will follow the example of our sweet and loving Mermaid Princess!
