LOVE, NILS provides families with knowledge, resources and community support at every step of the way. We collaborate with NUH for hospital Care-Cordinator to guide patients and caregivers to receive the help they need. We provide integrative therapies, toys, exciting tickets to events, engage with school students on programmes for our children and much more.
We believe it takes a village to heal a child. And that’s why we hold regular toy drives, events, school programmes and hospital visits involving many dedicated individuals, to keep children and caregivers socially engaged, hopeful and resilient. This way, they know they’re not alone in the fight.

At 13 years old, Lesli Berggren’s son, Nils, was diagnosed with a rare form of lymphoma stage 4 cancer. Lesli spent the next 18-months caring for her son as he received medical treatment in Singapore and the USA. Miraculously, Nils beat cancer following treatment at Singapore’s National University Hospital. However, a few months later, complications arising from a stem cell transplant tragically led to his passing.
Recognising a need for emotional and community support for families battling cancer, in 2017, Lesli founded LOVE, NILS, a Singapore registered charity that provides healthcare guidance, emotional care, and social and community support to children with cancer and their caregivers. Since its inception, LOVE, NILS has grown to operate 9 support programs, works with 2 hospitals and the community.
