Kids with cancer are having a tough time because they are living with it. And families who are taking care of the child with cancer usually suffer financial hardship because medical bills are expensive after getting some treatments, medical help and getting medications. Families should not lose hope because there are organizations that are willing to help people with financial hardship.
Hope for Henry is an organization that makes sure kids do not miss out on their childhood especially since they have cancer. The site is located at http://www.hopeforhenry.org/. They have four components to help these kids. Kids with some form of illness get some gifts, their siblings (if any) will get some gifts as well, events that celebrates what being a kid is, and hospital based programs for kids that are waiting or undergoing treatments.
Association for the Support of Children with Cancer (ASK) helps families whose child is living with cancer. It’s not fair but it is the reality. The website is located at http://askweb.org/. About 500 children attend the clinic each month. It was found by a small group of parents’ in Virginia state back in 1975.
The Seattle Childrens hospital treats kids who have some blood cancer from newborn up until they are 21 years old. The website is located at http://www.seattlechildrens.org/clinics-programs/cancer/. The hospital is safe and they accommodate parents whose child has to be there. They let parents spend the night while the child is there. The parents can also take a shower and wash their stuff while at the hospital.
Cancer Warriors is located in Georgia and they help kids by giving toys and gifts to kids who have cancer. Their site is located at http://www.cancerwarriors.org/.
There are ways to help the organizations by offering some financial assistance or give a toy to a child with cancer that deserve it. It is a way to make these kids to feel special despite that they have cancer. And because of these organizations, they can feel like a kid which a kid should. Each kid wants to feel special even if they have cancer.
