Our Mission
Candlelighters' mission is that no child will fight cancer alone.
We are beside the family every step of the way. Candlelighters of West Texas/ Southern New Mexico remains the sole provider in this region of free services from our three pillars offering support, advocacy, and education to children diagnosed with cancer (ages birth to 25), their families, and the community at large. Our continuum of care addresses the prolonged strain; financial, emotional, and social, resulting from a child battling a life-threatening illness. This range of care begins immediately following the diagnosis, through the treatment period, and up to 6 months after treatment as families regain normalcy to their lives.
