…What We DoFamily Financial Aid Program
Providing families with financial aid is a major part of the CCFSupport’s work. The CCFSupport works with BC Children’s Hospital plus Surrey Memorial and Victoria General’s Pediatric Oncology Departments, to help families in need through the Family Financial Aid Program. Families in need are recognized and determined by social workers at the Hospitals.
Though most aid is monetary in nature, other forms of aid are often provided and much appreciated. The CCFSupport Family Financial Aid Program helps support children with cancer and their families, from all corners of the Province of British Columbia.
If you donated to CCFSupport or held an event on our behalf, we want to Thank You All for our Success!
Childhood Cancer Family Support Society – CCFS was formed in 2002 by parents of children with cancer.
We are a non-profit registered charity run by volunteers.
Our main goal is to help families who are struggling with the financial burden of taking care of their child with cancer or a blood disorder.
Childhood cancer knows no social or economic boundaries and can be financially devastating for many families.
More than 45% of families come from outside the lower mainland. Transportation and accommodation costs are a significant challenge for families.
The social workers at B.C Children’s Hospital send us a request for a family who is struggling financially, we forward them a cheque to give to the family, maintaining the families privacy.
