Support organization
HayesTough Foundation
HayesTough Foundation accepts nationwide financial requests for families experiencing hardship because of a child's cancer, with a required application age selector from infancy through 17. It also maintains a live Comfort Kit request route for newly diagnosed children and their families, though the page's free-kit wording conflicts with a linked form that requires at least a $10 shipping selection. Public family resources cover emotional support after diagnosis, supporting siblings, and practical ways a community can help. The About and events pages also claim healing vacations, family photography, peer matching, wishes, and event-selected family benefits, but no current application or 2025–2026 cycle establishes that these are operating now. Families should use the live grant or kit forms and confirm other services directly because much of the site has not been substantively updated in several years.
