Imagine the feelings…confusion, fear, guilt and anxiety.
Imagine you aren't even old enough to understand or express these emotions. Before the diagnosis, life was simpler. You were a fun-loving, happy, carefree child. Now…life is harder.
This can be the reality of a child whose parent has been diagnosed with cancer. But now imagine you found a group of kids experiencing the same things. You also found supportive adults who provide a secure and healthy environment to guide you through your feelings. Most importantly, you found a place to be a kid again - to have fun, relax and be yourself.
This is the purpose of the Kids Alive Support Group. In 1995, the group was founded in response to breast cancer patients who were concerned about their children's needs. Support was in place for the cancer patient but not for their children. Kids Alive has now served hundreds of children, ages 6-16.
Often, these families are exhausted - physically, mentally and financially. Fortunately, Kids Alive provides this needed service to families free of charge. The program is funded from private donations, corporate sponsorships, and grant funding. At this time, we need your support to continue this outreach to our communities. Below is information about the various sponsorship opportunities. Donations outside of these sponsorships are welcomed and can be directed to any portion of the program.
Thank you for taking the time to consider Kids Alive as one of the charities you support. There are many ways to partner with us to make a lasting legacy for you and your family.
