Support organization
Parker Project is a national nonprofit that reduces financial strain so families can focus on a child in active cancer treatment. Its assistance may address rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, fuel and transportation, car payments, out-of-pocket medical costs, and past-due medical bills for U.S. families with a child under 18 and documented hardship. The program remains active for already enrolled families, but both new applications and the waiting list are closed as of August 27, 2026, with no reopening date published. When intake is open, the site says personal review takes one to two weeks and help is typically provided the same day after approval, while amount, payment method, and repeat limits remain unpublished.
