Transportation Expansion
Access to timely medical treatment is essential for children battling cancer, yet for many families, reaching the hospital remains one of the greatest challenges. Distance, financial constraints, and the physical toll of frequent travel can become barriers that put treatment continuity at risk. Through our transportation program, we help bridge this gap by ensuring that children can attend their medical appointments safely, consistently, and with dignity.
Over the past year, we have provided more than 1,600 medical transfers, supporting children throughout their treatment journeys. However, as the number of patients in need continues to grow, our current transportation capacity is no longer sufficient. Increased demand has placed significant strain on our existing vehicle, limiting the number of children we can serve each day.
The addition of a new vehicle will allow us to expand our coverage, improve reliability, and reduce waiting times, ensuring that no child misses treatment due to lack of transportation. Reliable access to care plays a critical role in treatment adherence, which is directly linked to improved survival outcomes.
By strengthening our transportation capacity, we are not only improving access—we are helping children stay on track with their treatment, supporting their recovery, and increasing their chances of survival. Every journey made possible is a step closer to hope, healing, and life.
Be Part of Every Journey
Today, more children need our support than ever before—and we are reaching the limits of what we can provide with our current resources. Without expanding our transportation capacity, some children may face delays or interruptions in their treatment simply because they cannot get to the hospital.
You can change that.
Your support can help us acquire a new vehicle and ensure that every child has a safe, reliable way to reach life-saving treatment. With your help, we can expand our reach, serve more families, and remove one of the most critical barriers to care.
Because of you, a child will not miss their appointment.
Because of you, a family will not have to choose between cost and care.
Because of you, a journey to treatment becomes a journey toward survival.
Join us in making sure that no child is left behind.
