Family Movie Time Stories
"As I read Keltin Cinema's page I am in awe of your family's strength. The Cinema cart is a beautiful way to honor your sweet Keltin. My son (11 years old) is currently in the hospital for a few days for treatment. Feeling nauseous, the only thing he wanted to do is to be still and watch his iPad. Yesterday Lindsey brought Keltin Cinema in and it was the first time he felt like doing something other than the iPad. We had a son and mommy "date night" at the movies. It was a much needed night for both of us. This morning he wanted to see if he could hook up his PS4 to it. I wish I got a photo of his smile when it worked because it was the first big smile in 5 days. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for bringing joy to children during their battles."

"They LOVED their time together and that was one of the first times she had smiled in a couple of days."

“Keltin Cinema has made a huge difference to our patients. Kids want to feel normal and going to the movies is normal. Kids who can’t otherwise leave their rooms have been able to have family movie nights and make happy memories. Positivity is such a huge part of healing and this has given these kids something to feel positive about.”

"If you have to be in he hospital, this is the way to do it."
-A fighter's Mom
"I can't tell you how much it has meant to our unit. The kids have been inviting their friends and family to come for movie night. I have left later several nights over the last few weeks and they are all cuddled up in their beds and in the room watching together. This girl actually asked her cousin to come up from Florida to be with her during this admission. My heart thinks of Keltin and everything y'all went through every time I see it up. You sure found a special way to honor your boy by making things better for others."
