Heroes for Children Family Resources
At Heroes for Children, we recognize that the journey through pediatric cancer is not only medically complex but also emotionally and financially overwhelming. Every family’s experience is deeply personal, and we are committed to walking alongside you with empathy, care, and practical support.
To ensure assistance reaches those who need it most, all applications must be completed by a hospital social worker on your behalf. To see if we are a good fit, we encourage you to speak directly with your hospital social worker, who can help determine eligibility.
You're not alone. We’re here to help lighten the load, one day at a time.
