When a child is diagnosed with a medical condition, families often get hit with a staggering amount of medical jargon, bills, and uncertainty. Jack’s Helping Hand is honored to help families with gas, food, and lodging during these difficult times to ensure children can get to their appointments, families can stay together, and parents can feel more secure. Our Assistance Program is available to any family with a child under 21 with medical needs. Check out our website or call our office for more information!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the thousands of children impacted by this disease. According to the National Cancer Institute, over 14,000 children ages 0 to 19 will be diagnosed with cancer in the US this year. At Jack’s Helping Hand, we are able to support local families as they navigate the challenges of childhood cancer. While the diagnosis is heartbreaking, we are continually inspired by the unwavering love of families, the generosity of our community, and, most of all, the resilience of these brave children 💚
