Support organization

The Gold Hope Project

The Gold Hope Project coordinates free professional portrait sessions for current and former pediatric cancer patients age 21 or younger at any treatment, remission, or survivorship stage. Families may join the session and receive at least 10 digital images for personal use plus a partner print benefit whose exact format is unclear. Sessions depend on a local volunteer photographer and require a model release for minors through a parent or guardian. Routine applications are temporarily paused as of August 24, 2026, while urgent or emergent families are directed to contact the organization for next steps. The public photographer map shows extensive U.S. and international network coverage, but a listing does not guarantee availability or allow families to bypass paused intake.
