Support organization
Kids Join The Fight provides national Family Program Grants of up to $750 per year for eligible childhood-cancer families, covering housing, utilities, childcare, insurance premiums, vehicle costs, treatment travel, lodging, meals, and other living expenses. The live page now states that applications are open and grants are rolling until funds are exhausted; families email the application and a detailed hospital social-worker or medical-professional letter. The organization also describes hospital-delivered family meals and seasonal Holiday Hero care kits, though current participating hospitals, distribution schedules, and recipient access are not public. Walker’s Imaginarium, a large accessible play and enrichment center at Manning Family Children’s in New Orleans, is described as under construction, without a confirmed opening date or access policy. Fundraising challenges, walks, golf events, and pediatric brain-cancer research awards are outside the direct family-support bundle.
