Support organization
Julia’s Grace Foundation offers several distinct forms of support to families affected by childhood cancer. Its Grace Program pays up to $1,000 per family per year toward a specific nonmedical bill for a child under 18 in active treatment, with a provider referral and direct vendor payment. Its Hug Program can send standard comfort boxes directly to families, supply boxes to hospitals across the continental United States, or arrange provider-requested personalized experiences for a child and family. A separate scholarship supports eligible patients, survivors, and siblings under age 25 in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Delaware, although the 2026 cycle is closed and no 2027 dates are published. Program geography and access differ, so families should use the specific application or provider route for the help they need.
