When we tell a family their child has cancer, it not only means medicine but a change in their whole life, every single day is affected.  Physically, emotionally and financially everything changes.  As our team supports children through their treatments, your support will help these families through a difficult time.  Often one parent is unable to work because they must care for their child.  The siblings need childcare while parents and the patient are in the hospital during scheduled or emergent hospitalizations. While their life stops, the bills continue.Despite benefits of health insurance, there are co-pays for medications, procedures and hospitalizations. Together we can help Vermont families fighting childhood cancer.
