MORE THAN MEDICAL BILLS
Financial advocacy is not only about paying a bill.
During a childhood cancer journey, families may be managing treatment costs while also facing travel, lodging, transportation, medications, insurance gaps, time away from work, household expenses, equipment, and many other needs that can grow quickly.
But support can also mean something deeply personal.
It may help provide an adaptive bike, specialized equipment, transportation to treatment, a place to stay, help with medications, a meaningful experience, or something that simply gives a child more comfort, movement, joy, independence, or time together with the people they love.
The Funding Project helps families look at the full financial picture, identify what their child and family need, and explore the different kinds of support that may exist.
The Childhood Cancer Funding Guide and Companion Workbook were created to help parents understand the financial side of a childhood cancer journey and organize what they need to move forward.
Helps parents explore funding possibilities, assistance programs, organizations, community resources, and practical next steps to navigate the financial realities that can accompany childhood cancer.
Helps families organize needs, expenses, documents, funding research, applications, contacts, follow-ups, and next steps in one place using Tammy's Proven 13-Step Process.
The Guide helps families understand the possibilities. The Workbook helps them put the process into action.
Spanish-language versions of the Childhood Cancer Funding Guide and Companion Workbook are coming soon.
These resources will help more Spanish-speaking families access practical financial advocacy guidance, funding information, organization, and next-step support during a childhood cancer journey.
They will also give children's hospitals, pediatric oncology programs, healthcare professionals, childhood cancer organizations, nonprofits, social workers, and community partners resources they can share with Spanish-speaking families.
Real Families. Real Experiences. Real Voices.
Riley was eight years old when he received an adaptive bike through Project Mobility during his cancer journey.
His mother, Adena, later shared what that bike meant to Riley and their family during his final year.
For Riley, the bike was more than equipment. It gave him an opportunity for movement, joy, independence, childhood, and time together with his family.
His story is a powerful reminder of why financial advocacy is about more than medical bills.
Sometimes the support that matters most is something that helps a child simply feel like a child.
Practical guidance matters, but families can also learn from the experiences of parents who understand different parts of the childhood cancer journey.
