A family-run foundation supporting pediatric cancer research and bringing toys, supplies, and encouragement to children in hospitals across Maryland and Washington, D.C.

Why it surfaced

EllaStrong traces its work to Ella's Ewing's sarcoma diagnosis on her ninth birthday, then documents what followed: more than $75,000 raised for research, 2,000-plus toys delivered, and nearly 20,000 character Band-Aids supplied in one week. Its list of funded organizations, hospitals, events, and press appearances gives the story an unusually clear chain from personal experience to public action.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
