Support organization

Paige’s Childhood Cancer Fund

Paige’s Family Assistance Fund supports families connected to the Waters Center for Children’s Cancer and Blood Disorders in Syracuse when childhood-cancer treatment creates financial strain. The official page lists travel and lodging, food, phone and household bills, lost income, and unpaid medical bills, while Upstate’s current program coverage also describes food, gas, medical costs, and supportive services. Families should ask the Waters Center social-work team about the current request process because public award limits and application documents are not posted. Paige’s Fund for Transportation provides gas-card help to families whose child receives active cancer therapy through the Waters Center in Syracuse and travels by private vehicle. The benefit is intended to offset repeated treatment travel, but the official page does not publish card value, frequency, or distance rules. Families should ask the Waters Center social worker or Paige’s Childhood Cancer Fund for the current request and distribution process.
