This past year 1,414 children with cancer, parents, brothers and sisters felt love, connection, joy and hope. Because of you, Jacob’s Heart provided:
$364,243 in financial and practical assistance — including phone bills, rent, utilities, meals, food, fuel and funeral expenses.
184 door-to-door rides — so that children are able to get to treatment with comfort, companionship and safety.
998 home and hospital visits — to help families cope with the stress of childhood illness and access additional resources.
2,570 hours of direct emotional support for families — including group, family and individual counseling for children, teens and parents enduring treatment or bereaved by the loss of a child.
3,726 cards, gifts and remembrances — to honor milestones, birthdays and anniversaries.
Holiday gifts and celebrations valued at $51,000 — which alleviated stress and delivered joy to 508 family members through our Holiday Hearts Adopt-a-Family program.
165 campers attended Camp Heart + Hands — a free weekend camp for families experiencing childhood cancer.
Nutrition and family wellness materials — produced in partnership with Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford though our newest program: Superheroes Against Childhood Cancer.
35 family members bereaved by the loss of a child — attended our first Forever Loved Retreat.
That’s quite an accomplishment in just one year! Thank you.
