Support organization
JUST TRYAN IT funds two levels of provider-referred financial help for families whose child is receiving pediatric cancer treatment at a partner hospital. Emergency Assistance addresses immediate needs such as housing, utilities, food, transportation, parking, sibling childcare, funeral costs, and vehicle expenses, while Deep Need support can cover three to six months of basic needs for families facing longer-term hardship, relapse, secondary diagnosis, or terminal illness. Families cannot apply directly; a hospital social worker or resource navigator verifies hardship and submits through an unpublished internal route. A separate STARS program shares stories of people affected by childhood cancer and their families, with inquiries accepted by email, though selection and any current tangible benefit are not promised. The newest official report names six partner hospitals across the DC/Baltimore and North Carolina regions, but a current page contains an unresolved six-versus-seven count conflict.
Mobilizes young athletes and communities to provide practical financial relief and recognition to families affected by childhood cancer.
Provider-referred emergency and deep-need financial grants plus story-based recognition for pediatric-cancer families at partner hospitals.
