Support organization
Paintings for Pediatrics is a volunteer-run Wisconsin nonprofit that uses artwork by young cancer patients to raise awareness and fund family relief and pediatric-cancer research. Its financial-assistance program provides board-determined checks or gift cards to qualifying Midwest families of children under 18 who are in treatment, preparing for treatment, or monitored by an oncologist. The application covers one shared pathway for housing, utilities, food, transportation, lodging, childcare, insurance, vehicle, prescription, and cancer-related medical-debt needs; awards depend on available funds and families may reapply after a one-year award period. A separate free painting-kit program ships supplies to a child's home or hospital and invites sibling or family painters, but requires publicity and copyright forms. The current site is English-only and does not publish a phone number or language-assistance process.
