Childhood Cancer Changes Everything
No one plans for cancer.
Every time a family hears the words "your child has cancer," they are forced to make hard decisions. They ask themselves: "Do I keep working while having to take large amounts of time off for treatments and hospital stays? If I quit my job to take care of them will we survive financially?"
Medical bills can be delayed, but rent is due, bills still come, and food is a necessity. Families facing childhood cancer need help with everyday expenses. Pinky Swear Foundation provides financial support for transportation, food, and housing so families can focus on their child.
