Support organization
Strong Like AK supports families during childhood-cancer treatment through three hospital-social-work-referred programs. Two fully furnished houses in Mount Holly and Belmont provide no-cost temporary housing for families traveling to Charlotte-area treatment. Financial Care may help with rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments or transportation, and other essential needs reviewed case by case. Wish & Comfort Experiences may provide outings, celebrations, toys, games, blankets, or other family memory-making support. Families must begin with the child's hospital social-work team; the organization does not publish family application forms, benefit limits, response times, or current capacity and funding status.
