Support organization
American Childhood Cancer Organization
The American Childhood Cancer Organization provides U.S. childhood-cancer families with free physical educational and comfort resources, including medical-play and comfort kits, age-specific books, journals, a therapeutic stuffed animal, and communication tools. Families use a live public order form, generally once per family, and ACCO says orders ship in 7–10 business days. A separate Make It Cute partnership maintains a funding-dependent playhouse waitlist for children ages 2–6 on active treatment, while Take a Pop, Share a Smile distributes freezer pops through participating treatment centers. ACCO also publishes a free digital library, printable activities, emotional-communication tools, a childhood-cancer animation, and bereavement guidance. Local-group and outside-assistance pages are directories only and require independent verification.
