Our Mission
It is our mission to lift some of the financial burden faced by the families of Childhood Cancer patients, so they can concentrate on their child during this difficult time.​​
There are a number of non-medical costs that families incur that often go overlooked. These costs may include, daycare for siblings, travel expenses to and from the hospital and loss of wages by parents who must quit their jobs to care for their child.
We work with donation coordinators, social workers and staff from the pediatric oncology departments at children's hospitals and clinics across the nation to identify families in need of financial assistance, and with your help we provide resources to make caring for their loved one a little less stressful.​​
Your donation can help provide:
Financial Assistance
Holiday Gift Bags
Families battling childhood cancer often have many expenses related to the costs of cancer treatment and care. They might need to pay for transportation, lodging, food, and more. The extra expenses of cancer may be the first time a family has had problems with money. Your donation helps families stay in their homes, keep their transportation, put food on the table and reduce stress so they can stay focused on caring for their child.
We bring joy to children battling cancer during the holidays by providing them with gift bags filled with toys, games, and other goodies. We work with hospital care coordinators to find out what kids want, purchase the items and distribute them to the hospital. Please help us bring smiles and comfort to kids facing the toughest battle of their lives.
Accommodations for out-of-town treatments
Back to School Backpacks and School Supplies
For families facing financial challenges, the cost of back-to-school shopping can be overwhelming. Your contribution not only alleviates the financial burden but also instills peace of mind in parents, knowing their children are well-prepared for the academic year. Your donations plays a vital role in ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to thrive academically.
Help families stay together during cancer treatment by providing housing, transportation, food, and supplies. Your donation reduces stress and financial burden by providing a home away from home that provides comfort, support and resources to families who travel far from home for the medical care their child needs.
Summer Camp
Our weeklong summer camp provides a normal camp experience for children with cancer and their siblings from ages 6-16. Staffed 24/7 by medical professionals, this week of summer camp allows our campers the chance to get away from the realities of living with cancer – while still being under medical supervision at all times. Our campers will get to participate in camp activities like tubing, arts & crafts, swimming, a talent show, a dance, and so much more!
