THE FAMILY FUND

Our Financial Stability Programs
help offset loss of income due to one or more parents reducing work hours or quitting their job to care for their child in the hospital. Funds help cover immediate expenses such as rent, utilities, car payments, gas, lodging and groceries.

FOR LOW-TO-MODERATE INCOME FAMILIES



DIRECT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FUND
Low-to-moderate income families can ease their immediate financial
burden by applying for up to $7,000 for payment of rent or mortgage,
auto expenses, utility bills, medications, home care services, food,
child care, or hotel accommodations.
 

RELAPSE FUND

an additional $2,500 of financial support.
 

SECONDARY DIAGNOSIS FUND
If a child receives a secondary diagnosis of a different type of cancer,
families can request an additional$2,500 of financial support.



BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT FUND
If a child is in need of a bone marrow transplant,

an additional $2,500 of financial support.
 

FUNERAL FUND

of funeral arrangements. 

 

FOR FAMILIES OF ALL INCOME LEVELS

“BEAR” NECESSITIES

 

Items for families such as furniture, appliances, clothing, bedding, and hospital care packages are provided to families in need.  Families of all income levels may also request gas cards to cover the cost of four round trips to and from their treatment location as well as up to $2,000 in hotel accommodations.

Why Gold?

Although many colors were considered, gold was agreed upon as the ideal choice for childhood cancer awareness because gold is a precious metal, and is therefore the perfect color to reflect the most precious thing in our lives - our children.
