Supporting children and families

By Anna Tullgren | Individual Giving & Events Manager

At World Child Cancer we believe that a family’s financial situation should never be a barrier to accessing cancer treatment for their child.   

We also know that supporting a family’s emotional wellbeing is a vital part of care and can help keep children in treatment.  

With your support, we are:  

  • Helping vulnerable families cover the cost of treatment, travel and care.  
  • Providing free hospital accommodation and opening ‘Shared Care’ centres, to allow treatment in local communities. 
  • Offering tailored information and emotional support (including group and play therapy) to families.  
  • Providing parents and caregivers with the skills and starting materials to set up their own business. This gives them an income while their child is in hospital and means they can provide for their family once they return home.  

Sibling Relationships  

Naa has undergone treatment twice for cancer – once when she was 7 years old and again at 11. During her treatment, Naa was missed by her siblings who were sad when she could not live with them. Her sister missed Naa doing her braids and helping her with her homework. To make it easier, they were able to phone Naa which helped them cope when she had to stay in the hospital.    

It is thanks to the support from people like you that our achievements thus far have been possible. There are many more children like Naa in the world who desperately need your help.
