THE PROBLEM
When you’re 9 years old stuck in a bed for 6 months of chemo, the medicine helps your body. What helps your spirit? Gaming. Not as a luxury — as medicine.
HOW #GFLX WORKS
No abstract programs. This is what happens when a hospital partners with GFLX.
A hospital reaches out. We tour, meet Child Life specialists, ask: “What do YOUR kids need?” Every hospital is different.
Custom delivery: consoles, game rooms, adaptive controllers, wifi upgrades, gaming carts. Whatever fits the space and the patients.
3-year partnership. Equipment warranties. 24/7 hotline for staff. We don’t drop and disappear — we stay.
WHAT HOSPITALS SAY
These aren’t marketing testimonials. They’re people whose job is to know what works for sick kids.
YOUR DOLLAR · A KID’S JOY
Real costs from real hospital deployments. $1.50 per session is the verified per-child cost.
Cost-per-session is $1.50 verified. Equipment costs vary by hospital configuration and adaptive equipment needs. Full per-hospital breakdown on request.
WE’RE GIVING · ACTIVE GFLX CAMPAIGNS
Hospital, donor, or sponsor — pick your way in.
We’re Giving is the active-campaigns platform we’re building — specific kids, specific hospitals, real-time progress. Until it launches, give to the general GFLX fund and we route to the hospital with the biggest need.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
#GFLX is the Games For Love program that brings gaming-as-distraction-therapy to children’s hospitals. We supply consoles, games, adaptive tech, wifi, and ongoing support. It’s free for partner hospitals — we cover everything through donations, sponsors, and partnerships. Per-session cost is about $1.50.
A 2022 meta-analysis showed gaming therapy during treatment delivers 43% pain reduction and 61% anxiety reduction for hospitalized pediatric patients. Child Life specialists call it “distraction therapy.” We call it giving kids their personality back during the worst moments of their lives.
Over 200 children’s hospitals across all 50 US states and 11 countries internationally — including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Cincinnati Children’s, Seattle Children’s, IWK Health Centre, and many more.
Email [email protected] with your facility name and current Child Life setup. We schedule a virtual tour, build a custom plan, and ship the gear. No cost to your hospital.
86% of every dollar goes directly to programs (gaming stations, equipment, hospital support). 14% covers admin and fundraising. Games For Love is a 4-Star Charity Navigator rated 501(c)(3). $1.50 = 1 life touched.
Three things. (1) 3-year partnerships, not one-time drops. (2) Equipment warranties — if it breaks, we replace it. (3) 24/7 support hotline for hospital staff. Hospitals call us “the glue that makes everything work.”
GFLX is Stage 1 of our Program Ecosystem®. Kids we help in the hospital can then continue through Kids of STEAM (free coding to catch up academically), Scholarships, Interns International, and League of Pros — supported from bedside to career.
