Help us be a shelter in the storm this Giving Tuesday
Helping Families Handle Cancer (HFHC) is a Not-For-Profit Organization specifically designed to aid families financially while they are dealing with a childhood cancer diagnosis and treatment. Cancer creates an enormous strain on a family, both emotionally and financially. It is our hope that a family afflicted by cancer, can put their energy into caring for their child, instead of struggling to pay bills. HFHC assists families who have been referred by the Oncology Social Workers from the Alberta Children’s Hospital.
We know that Helping Families Handle Cancer is not built on one family or individual funding our Care Programs but rather a whole team that supports us in our cause. This is one of the reasons that we are looking for 50 unique people to engage in some way with our Giving Tuesday and year-end financial goal.
Our hope this year is to raise $5,000 which will then be doubled through this matching donor grant! This means each dollar you donate to our campaign this year has double the impact
The funds raised in this campaign will go directly towards supporting our Care Program families
Our Care Program has been highly demanded as well as impactful, in the Alberta cancer community. Since the beginning of the charity in 2008, we have served over 1,900 families, with over $1.2 million in support! We help between 200 and 300 families annually. Our program instantly helps to alleviate emotional and financial stressors among parents and enable parents to stay with their child during the treatment. The precious time they have with their child during this time period can be all that they have in the end.
Our charity may be small but with your support we are mighty!
