We make sure no family faces childhood cancer alone
When childhood cancer hits, a family’s world shrinks to hospital rooms, medical jargon, and overwhelming uncertainty. The Kids with Cancer Society steps in to provide wraparound care, addressing the financial, emotional, and practical realities of a diagnosis. We wrap our arms around the entire family from diagnosis through treatment, survivorship, or bereavement.
All programs & services provided free of charge because of our donors.
Our Pillars of Support
We provide free programs designed to meet families at their hardest moment, turning isolation into community and fear into shared strength.
Financial Support
Easing sudden burdens through emergency funding relief, daily living assistance, and hospital parking passes.
Emotional & Mental Health
Free professional counselling for children, parents, and siblings, alongside peer-led support networks.
Practical Support
Providing a “home-away-from-home” at KWCS House and Papa Ken's House, plus direct bedside support like our Newly Diagnosed Backpacks.
Educational Support
Helping kids reach their full potential through specialized academic scaffolding, Post-Secondary Bursaries, and classroom integration programs like BrainWorks.
