You're not alone
When your child receives a cancer diagnosis, it can feel impossible to know what you need.
We’ve been there. As parents who have heard the words “your child has cancer,” we know what it’s like to be desperate for answers and longing for support. It’s overwhelming – and isolating.
But it doesn’t have to be.

You don't have to explain
As pediatric cancer parents, we know what it’s like to wake up in a reality you never thought would be yours. And we know the best help is the kind you don’t have to ask for or explain.
We’ve been honored to come alongside hero families since 2015 – whether you have a child on treatment, a child who has completed treatment, or have lost a child to cancer. As of today, we serve 120 families in 26 East Texas cities – all in hopes that no one will have to walk this road alone.
