Financial Assistance for Families

Supporting kids with cancer aged 0 – 12 inclusive diagnosed with a form of cancer and their families

Kids with Cancer Foundation provide financial assistance to families from funds held in trust that have been donated by the public through direct donations, bequests & fundraising.  Families that find themselves in financial stress resulting from their child’s cancer diagnosis can apply to access our funds to help with bill payments.
