Support organization
Blue Skies Ministries offers no-cost family camps and getaways for the immediate household of a child currently receiving curative or palliative pediatric-cancer treatment or only recently off treatment. The 2026 application is live and requires oncology-team referral and medical clearance; selected families receive lodging, activities, most food, nursing presence, and parent peer support but arrange transportation and some meals. The separate Hope Box program accepts public requests for families diagnosed within the previous 30 days, yet all first-round boxes were distributed in late 2025 and a second round depends on future funding. The organization provides Christian faith-oriented encouragement and follow-up and publishes a family-story podcast. Families should confirm event capacity and Hope Box funding before relying on help.
