Financial Help when Families Need it Most

Your gifts help families cope with the financial burden associated with cancer because no one plans for cancer in their budget.

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, one parent often has to take an indefinite leave from work to support their child through treatments. With weekly outpatient cancer treatment lasting a few years; travel, accommodation, parking, and meal costs quickly add up and become a significant source of stress for families. With a financial boost from you, families can focus their energy on what matters the most: their child’s recovery.

Additionally, childhood cancer survivors left with physical or psychological sequelae know that they can count on Leucan and your support with grants dedicated specifically to them.

With so much going on, we had to press pause on our family life. Both my husband and I had to take a leave from work. Leucan’s financial assistance made it possible for us to continue to live, to eat, and to go to the hospital for Emma’s follow-ups. We can stay by her side through it all. That’s a huge plus, truly a gift from Leucan.
