Support organization

The Hero Package Foundation

Anyone who knows an eligible child may email about a personalized package for a child under 18 battling childhood cancer. The foundation also offers bereavement packages to families who have lost a child to cancer, but it does not publish bereavement-specific request instructions. The only public form is a general contact form, not a package application.
