Our Story and Purpose

Children’s Cancer Foundation

At Ma Hila’s Heart, our mission is clear: to stand beside families facing the unimaginable challenge of childhood cancer.

We understand that when a child is diagnosed with cancer, it affects the entire family. The emotional, financial, and psychological toll can be overwhelming. Families often find themselves navigating a complex journey filled with hospital visits, treatments, and uncertainty.

That’s why we created Ma Hila’s Heart, to provide unwavering support every step of the way.

Our programs are designed to address the unique needs of each family, from financial assistance through Blessing’s Way to compassionate care for families grieving the loss of a child to cancer.

We believe that no family should have to choose between keeping the lights on and staying by their child’s side in the hospital. No child and no familiy should face cancer without a community behind them.

At Ma Hila’s Heart, we put the heart where the hurt is, providing relief, dignity, and strength to families who deserve all three.

Transforming Empathy into Action

At Ma Hila’s Heart Cancer Foundation, every heart finds a home, and together, we build a future
filled with strength and love.

Our Mission

We support families battling childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer by providing tailored programs for every stage of the cancer journey. Our comprehensive care services focus on the longevity of support and strive to alleviate both the burden and the far-reaching effects of cancer.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every courageous family facing childhood cancer is empowered with the care, encouragement, and tools necessary to flourish. With unwavering dedication and teamwork, we strive to give families revolutionary support that transforms their experience and empowers them on their journey.

Our Hospital Partners

Our impact wouldn’t be what it is without the hard work and dedication of our hospital
partners that connect us with families in need while providing them with world-class care.
