Support organization
Child Cancer Fund supports families whose child is undergoing cancer treatment through Nemours Children's Health or Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville with a Nemours Jacksonville primary oncologist. A Nemours oncology social worker is the required access point for short-term household help, including housing, utilities, food, gas, and other nonmedical expenses. Separate programs fund Child Life, therapeutic services, education, tutoring, a free family retreat, monthly family connection activities, and an annual construction-themed family day.
