Lend a helping hand and we will face childhood cancer together

Couldn’t we all use a helping hand at the gas pump, grocery store, or paying for other amenities right now? For families facing childhood cancer, that need is even greater. When a child is sick, the entire family is impacted financially, emotionally, and socially. Everyday costs quickly add up, and even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.


Do you know a business who would consider lending a hand? Support could be as simple as:



  • hosting a customer event or incentive
  • putting out a coin box
  • inviting customers to round up their purchase
  • putting out cards to show customers that they've lent a hand


Maybe you have a different idea of how you can lend a hand. Reach out! We'd love to hear from you and explore meaningful ways you can lend a helping hand to make a difference.

Childcan bursaries


Want to lend a helping hand in another way?


Over 50% of the matching funds have already been used but there's still time to give!


When you give a gift today, you'll ignite a spark for kids like Noah, future electrician, who started post-secondary education with a bursary from Childcan.

PS. If you are a Childcan kid, eligible for a bursary, apply now.

A legacy gift to Childcan is more than a future donation, it’s your love in action - an enduring commitment that fuels the bravery of children and families facing childhood cancer. It ensures they’ll have the support they need, not just today, but for every tomorrow.
