Support organization
Emilio Nares Foundation
Emilio Nares Foundation provides free support after a child is diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening disease across several Southern California service areas. Ride With Emilio offers door-to-door transportation to treatment, while the bilingual Family Resource Center connects families with housing, food, mental-health, healthcare, employment, childcare, and other essentials. Hospital-based Snack Bags and Creating for Hope activities address nutrition and emotional well-being, and the End of Life Program supports families facing a child’s death. Healing Through Nature offers outdoor, wellness, financial-literacy, and STEM experiences for families after treatment. Families use the Programs and Services phone or contact form because no public patient application, calendar, deadline, or intake-capacity statement is currently published.

Patient Support Material
Emilio’s Loving Tabs Healing Shirts
These cotton-blend shirts open at the shoulder to permit catheter-port access without requiring a child to remove clothing. The official page says shirts have been gifted at children’s hospitals nationwide, but no request form, current distribution list, eligibility rule, or stock status is published, and the item is absent from the current six-program list.
Topics: comfort, port access, treatment clothing
