For newly diagnosed children and their families in the Inland Northwest, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital answers their medical questions. Candlelighters’ unique mission is to help each family cope with life during childhood cancer treatments and rebuild their lives after cancer from the experienced perspective of those who have been there before. We find this mission compelling. In remission, many survivors and families still seek and need continued emotional support with on-going challenges. Candlelighters works to help every family regain its sense of normalcy.
Your donations will enhance the lives of children with cancer and their families. You will be providing emotional and practical support, education, patient advocacy, and the assurance that no child or family will have to fight cancer alone. |
| Our mission statement: |
| “To educate, support, serve, and advocate for families of children with cancer, survivors of childhood cancer, and the professionals who care for them.” |
