Support organization
Children's Cancer Fund of New Mexico supports people diagnosed with and treated for childhood cancer at a New Mexico pediatric oncology facility and their families. Helping Hands covers broad practical needs such as housing, utilities, food, gas, lodging, car repair, treatment travel, clothing, wigs, hospital comforts, funeral expenses, and special child needs, while the site does not publish a standard application, amounts, or repeat limits. Distinct programs provide clinic prizes, tutoring, licensed counseling, hospital art, performing arts, hospice or extended-treatment lodging at Erin's Place, scholarships, prom and graduation needs, comfort pillows, and utility-assistance navigation. Current 2026 scholarship deadlines are preserved exactly, including an October 20 Spring or Summer deadline; page visibility does not establish that the application is open. Patient and family events recur, but the displayed Easter form is closed and its year is not published.
Provides practical, emotional, educational, developmental, survivorship, and end-of-life support to New Mexico childhood-cancer families.
New Mexico childhood-cancer financial, clinical, educational, arts, hospice, scholarship, utility-navigation, and family-event support.
