What’s happening now at Kids Cancer Care

Support kids this #GivingTuesday

Easton was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour when he was only nine years old. Thankfully, YOU made it possible for us to be there for him and his family. This Giving Tuesday, please give generously. We depend on YOU. Gifts made by December 3, will be triple-matched, offering 3X the impact.

Camp Kindle Expansion & Accessibility

Kids Cancer Care has embarked on a construction project to enhance outdoor and indoor programming space for children at Camp Kindle. YOUR gift can make camp more magical and accessible for kids.

What our families are saying

Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying

Kids Cancer Care has given us another family, one who understands what we are going through, a support system for when we are tired. And it gives us a chance to give back too.

What our families are saying

Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
