Children's Chance: How they help

Since 1996, our mission has been to assist children and families facing pediatric cancer throughout the state of South Carolina. This is a time that support is strongly needed by families and that is what our non-profit organization provides. Children’s Chance helps families with non-medical expenses.

​

It is more statistically likely that one parent has to leave their job to care for their child, causing a financial rift in the household. Over twenty years ago the founders of Children’s Chance saw this gap when their daughters were diagnosed. Since then, our non-profit has been striving to remove this weight from families.

​

Families are eligible for assistance while their child is on treatment and up to a year after completion of treatment. Children’s Chance works closely with hospital social workers around the state to register new applicants as well as getting updates on the needs of the family.

​

Coping with cancer is something that everyone processes differently; that is why we fund and support different programs to benefit the child and family. Children’s Chance can also provide up to 6 counseling sessions with a certified counselor or therapist for family members. We want every family member to feel at ease during this unfamiliar time.

​

In addition, to support, we also host outings for our families. This is a great way for families to break free from hospital visits, enjoy themselves, and network with other families facing the same struggles.

All in all, Children’s Chance wants to provide comfort and support so that the family may spend more quality time with their child. We would love for you to support our cause so that we can continue the journey we began twenty years ago.
