The Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico exists to help persons from New Mexico’s who have been diagnosed with and treated for childhood cancer (at a New Mexico Pediatric Oncology Facility) and their families cope with the day-to-day educational, emotional and financial needs of living with and fighting cancer.

Through our Helping Hand Program, our goals are:

• To ensure all families basic needs are being met by providing assistance with rent, utilities, food, transportation, clothing, and special needs based on each individual child.
• To grant requests from families for basic needs as their child fights cancer.

• Gasoline Vouchers
• Food Vouchers
• Lodging Assistance
• Car Repairs and Maintenance
• Emergency Housing
• Emergency Utilities
• Travel expenses related to treatment
• Toys and Gift Cards
• Entertainment passes for families
