Support organization
Emmanuel Cancer Foundation provides free statewide support to New Jersey families whose child has cancer and is age 18 or younger at referral. A public referral can be submitted by a parent, care-team member, school employee, friend, relative, community organization, or another referrer, after which a regional caseworker assesses the family’s needs and remains the main contact. Services include supportive counseling and advocacy, food and household supplies, emergency financial aid, birthday and holiday assistance, and family support groups or recreational and educational activities. Core services can continue after treatment while cancer-related needs remain, and an older official FAQ also describes bereavement counseling. Financial awards, grocery frequency, celebration enrollment, and activity schedules depend on individual circumstances or are not publicly specified.
