At Kesem, we know that a friend who understands what you’re going through can change… everything. We believe in meeting children where they are, when they need us, and in a way that makes the most sense for them, whether that is a week-long summer camp adventure, an afternoon program, or a virtual meet-up.

Many children who have attended Kesem programs (or ) and their parents report positive mental health outcomes after Kesem, like enhanced communication skills, improved self-confidence, stronger coping skills, and more.

We can reach generations of children with transformative and life-changing support, and it begins with you. Today. Help us create a world where every child navigating a parent's cancer can find hope and resilience and rediscover the joys of their youth through and beyond a parent's cancer.

More than 5 million children in the United States are impacted by a parent's cancer - or 1 in every 15.

Research shows a cancer diagnosis has a significant impact on a household and highlights the need for a form of mental health support to help children cope with the drastic changes they may face - and while there are many resources and organizations dedicated to people with cancer, their children do not often receive the same level of support to address their unique mental and emotional health needs.

is dedicated to this often underserved and growing population and provides programs and year-round support for thousands of kids facing a parent's cancer from coast to coast every year, at absolutely no cost to families served.

No child should have to face a parent's cancer alone. Make a gift and help us reach more families in need: https://donate.kesem.org/team/526384.
