Every year, approximately 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer in the United States. During September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, you can make a difference by learning, sharing, and supporting.
A childhood cancer diagnosis changes everything. For families like All-Star River’s, that change has happened not once, but twice.
Between hospital stays, treatments, and bills, families are overwhelmed. Many report annual incomes under $45,000, while 75 percent are forced to take leave from work to care for their child. A third of families travel more than two hours for care, which can quickly stretch already tight budgets.
You care about helping these families, and it should be easy to make a difference. We hope it is!
Together, this September, we will continue to step up to help families pay for everyday essentials like housing, food, and transportation costs.
