From a childhood cancer diagnosis, through treatment, post-treatment care, or bereavement

Childcan is here to support families and children through responsive and direct financial assistance, compassionate emotional support, proactive social programs and by funding novel research.
By alleviating external worries, we enable the family to focus on their child’s care.

Responsive
family support

We are here to support you, to provide financial assistance, to offer a shoulder to lean on, to do whatever we can to make this difficult time a little easier for you. You are not alone; don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can help.
