Overview

Mission

To ease the burden, instill hope and nudge families forward amidst the challenge of a lifetime: pediatric cancer.

What it reported doing in 2025

We dont believe in fighting cancer. Instead, we focus on using our 5 pillars to help the families that we serve navigate through the fear, uncertainty and doubt of a cancer journey. We let the doctors use protocols and science to fight the cancer while we focus on maintaining a positive mindset by using these pillars as our guide. Living out these values is a daily choice, and with a community like ours, its a choice families dont have to make alone. Each family receives $4,000 to $6,000 in direct support, which can be divided into two parts: the present covers a critical, ongoing bill like a mortgage or car payment. This relieves immediate stress and allows families to focus on their child, not their finances. The future invests $2,000 into a college savings account for the child. If one doesnt exist yet, we help the family open it and make the first deposit.

Operating model
