No one budgets for cancer. The facts are staggering. The average individual hospital stay for pediatric cancer costs over $40,000 Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality – AHRQ). Additionally, nearly 75% of families experience loss of 50% or more of household income (National Coalition of Cancer Survivors – NCCS). Not only does childhood cancer take a financial toll on a family, it takes an emotional toll as well. Families are isolated due to treatment that is often in-patient. Children’s Cancer Partners is there to assist with all needs of a Carolina child fighting cancer, and you can, too. Here’s how you can help over 1,700 Carolina children battling cancer!
Get the support of your friends on Facebook. Create a fundraiser on Facebook. All donations go directly to Children’s Cancer Partners and the children we serve. Create your fundraiser today: https://www.facebook.com/fundraisers/

Shopping for every day goods can be difficult when your child is receiving treatment or in between doctor appointments. Our Family Advocates deliver every day products to our families so it’s one less thing for them to worry about. You can help stock our Gift in Kind closet here: https://a.co/dokEC6m
Teaching children important lessons about inclusion and helping others who are in need is something we value. Ask your child’s, grandchild’s, niece or nephew’s school to sign up to host a Kidz in Lids day or week and pass along these valuable skills: cchttps://childrenscancerpartners.org/kidz-in-lids/
