Here to Serve is the only national non-profit that provides critical in-home services and support to families with children throughout the cancer journey. By removing burdens, we empower parents and caregivers to focus on what matters most.
Closing The In-Home Cancer Care Gap.
Over 15,000 children (up to age 19) and 80,000 young adults (ages 20 to 40) are diagnosed with cancer each year, with a majority of adults age 20 to 40 having children. The average cancer journey lasts 18 months.Â
Patients and families receive services while they are in the hospital, but more than 60% of their time is spent at home. The majority of funding goes toward research and hospitals, leaving families without comprehensive support.
This gap in care puts the burden of navigating this journey directly on parents and caregivers, which significantly impacts financial health:
There are no recognized support systems in place for families that do not qualify for government aid, driving significant stress and financial sacrifice as children or parents go through treatment, and less than .001% of funds go towards helping these families in need.
Here to Serve exists to change that, one family at a time.
