Our goal is to ensure that a parent is never in a position about whether they will lose their home or essential needs while attending to a child with cancer. We accomplish this helping defray costs that are often overlooked, such as monthly bills (rent/mortgage, utilities, etc.), automobile and related transportation costs, and other similar expenses. While insurance companies and other charitable organizations provide much-needed assistance, they do not give support for life's daily needs.

Children with cancer often experience extended hospital stays. It is critical to the child's recovery that their parents or guardians are with them every step of the way. Even at home, these children require close care and extensive nurturing. Imagine the fear a child with cancer faces, having to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy in an unfamiliar environment filled with strangers. Beginning with the initial diagnosis, the process is commonly measured in terms of years, not days or months. These children require their parents' love and support, the familiar family structure they knew before getting sick. Unfortunately, the significant time commitment makes it nearly impossible for the parents or guardians of a child with cancer to sustain a job and/or an adequate income.
