Children's Cancer Association
The CCA gives support not only to the children who have been diagnosed with cancer, but also to their families. They provide anything they can in order to bring happiness to people who have very little to be joyful about.
From their website:
When seriously ill kids and their families need more than medicine, CCA is there with compassion and innovation creating moments of respite and hope, in the hospital and at home. Managed by a professional staff and powered by volunteers, CCA brings soothing music in a time of crisis, friendship in a time of loneliness, resources in a time of turmoil and vital support in the midst of life-threatening illness. We call it Joy Rx.
Joy Rx is a unique combination of resources and programs that bring hope, possibility and a little magic to some of the most difficult days families will ever face.
These people have wonderful, caring hearts, providing anything from Chemo Pals for the seriously ill children to emotional support for their families.
More from the website:
CCA offers award-winning programs and resources to seriously ill children (from birth to 18), their families and the medical professionals who care for them. Every program and resource we offer is available to seriously ill children and families that live or seek treatment in Oregon and SW Washington and many of our resources are also available to children, families and medical professionals nationwide.
