ABOUT US
Because kids can’t fight cancer alone !
We offer our support and services to every family without regard to income, race, religion, or choices of physician(s) and healthcare facilities. We dedicate ourselves to enriching the lives of children who have cancer by providing hope, support, encouragement, advocacy, and education to those children, their families, and the community at large.
Our agency offers emergency financial assistance, transportation, scholarships, caregiver workshops, counseling, summer oncology camps, equine assisted therapy and many other psycho-social services and therapeutic activities for our children and their families. Financial support is provided for as long as a child is in treatment.
Our goal is to help children restore their loss of control and help them develop physically and socially, as we know that this is an important part of the healing process.
