CHILDHOOD CANCER HUB
Supported by Day One Biopharmaceuticals.
Regardless of where you are on your journey, you are not alone.
The Childhood Cancer Hub allows the childhood cancer community across the United States and Canada to find support faster, with less effort, and in a more personalized way than ever.
Our resource hub is home to two curated, community-driven directories of organizations: the Hope Portal and Better Together. The Hope Portal displays non-profit organizations that help children and teens with cancer and their families during treatment, while Better Together lists organizations that offer survivorship resources.
The searchable databases in the Childhood Cancer Hub connect the childhood cancer community with the support resources they need–faster than ever. Both the Hope Portal and Better Together provide access to robust listings of organizations around the country that provide financial assistance, medical travel options, summer camps, special wishes or gifts, and much needed information. Visitors can also filter their searches in a variety of ways, depending on the need.
We continue to add organizations to the site that provide resources to address the challenges and meet the unique needs of childhood and adolescent cancer patients, survivors, and their families.
