Founded on the belief that when a child is sick, the entire family is affected.
Our support focuses on the individual child along with the family.
“Not only does FOCWC plan fun events for children and families, but they also provide a place to make relationships with others who have battled or are battling cancer.”

Financial Support
The financial stress of treatment can be crushing. To help ease the burden, we provide families with gift cards for gas and groceries, as well as mileage reimbursement for trips to and from treatment. Doing so allows parents to put the focus back where it is needed most - on the children.
-
Social Events
Social events help facilitate belonging during a time where many family members may feel isolated. Our social events are always free for immediate family members! In the event a child earns their angel wings, the family is still invited to attend events.
