What we do.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, life comes to a sudden, painful halt. Work stops. Income stops. Sleep stops. Stability disappears overnight.

Helping Families Handle Cancer steps in at that very moment.
We provide immediate financial relief so families can focus on what truly matters: being at their child’s bedside.

We cover essential expenses such as:

• Hospital parking

• Groceries and meals

• Utilities

• Medical supplies

• Emergency household costs

Our mission is simple: hold families together through the hardest days of their lives.
