We know that a childhood cancer diagnosis impacts the entire family in myriad ways, taking a physical, emotional, and financial toll. When you support Ukandu, you’re helping to provide respite and support through a family’s darkest times and when community is particularly important.
Time and time again, families express to us a strong need for respite and peer-to-peer support outside the hospital environment, both during and post-treatment, and we know how healing it is to connect with others who have shared experiences. We believe that these families deserve holistic support and that all children deserve the opportunity to just be kids. Through our programs, children reclaim classic childhood experiences in an empowering space where cancer does not define them. Caregivers and siblings, too, connect and form life-long bonds with others who ‘just get it’.
All of our programs are 100% free of charge thanks to the generosity of our donors. Thank you so much for being a part of our impact. We're so grateful that you're a part of our community and we can't thank you enough for your support.
