HOPE KIDS
HopeKids provides ongoing events, activities and a powerful, unique support community for families who have a child with cancer or some other life-threatening medical condition. They surround these remarkable children and their families with the message that hope is a powerful medicine.
Families with a child aged 0-18 years old, who has been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, can apply online for their child to become a HopeKid. Once accepted into the program, the family will receive email invitations to their free events each month.
