A parent's cancer diagnosis, or the loss of a parent to cancer, significantly impacts a child's mental health, increasing anxiety and emotional isolation and exacerbating the complex "every day" challenges of navigating the world as a young child, pre-teen, or teenager.

Reaching families where and when they need us the most means going beyond what's been done before - and we can't do it without your support.

this and create new possibilities for kids facing a parent's cancer to discover joy, build resilience, and forge lasting friendships. Learn more and join us on the journey at kesem.org/givingtuesday. ✨
