A childhood cancer diagnosis impacts every part of a family’s life—including finances. For many families, one parent has to cut back their work hours or stop working entirely to care for their child. In 35% of cases, this means a complete loss of income from one parent, while others experience a 25-50% reduction.?? The Littlest Heroes is here to step in and provide financial support during these incredibly challenging times, helping families focus on what matters most: their child’s health and well-being.
关于我们
The Littlest Heroes impacts the lives of children living with cancer and their families by addressing the economic, emotional and social concerns that accompany childhood cancer through education, assistance and community organization. While many organizations exist to provide counseling and support services to adult cancer patients, The Littlest Heroes is uniquely positioned to address the stressors and concerns associated exclusively with childhood cancer.

This holiday season, you can bring hope and joy to families facing unimaginable challenges. Through The Littlest Heroes' Adopt A Family program, your support provides gifts, essentials, and a sense of normalcy that means the world to these families.?? Here’s one family’s story of resilience and bravery: "I am a mother of six young kids. My youngest, Aday, was diagnosed with leukemia at just four years old. She has been so brave, facing chemo every day, but this journey has been incredibly tough. As a single mom unable to work due to my own health issues, it’s hard to make ends meet. I want to give all of my kids a wonderful Christmas, especially Aday, who has endured so much. We spent months in the hospital, away from her siblings, and while it’s been hard, I am grateful to have her here with me." Every donation brings joy and comfort to families like Aday's. Your kindness is a gift that will lift their spirits and remind them they’re not alone. Help us make this season brighter for our littlest heroes at https://gofund.me/f34bb610 ??

Meet Clare, an inspiring little girl whose life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) in June 2018 at just 2 years old. This rare and aggressive brain tumor affects only 150 to 300 children in the U.S. each year. Clare’s journey has been nothing short of miraculous, from her conception with a 3% chance of being born, to now being 7 years old and continuing to defy the odds. DIPG carries a heartbreaking survival rate, with 90% of children losing their lives within two years of diagnosis. But Clare's spirit is as strong as ever, proving that miracles do happen. ??? She reminds us to embrace life’s precious moments and believe in hope, even when the odds seem impossible. Together, we can continue to shower Clare with love, positivity, and support as she bravely beats the odds.
