Children’s Cancer Family Foundation of Northeast Wisconsin, Appleton
Children’s Cancer Family Foundation’s (CCFF) mission is to empower families in Northeast Wisconsin confronted with a pediatric cancer diagnosis by
granting support, embracing families, and building connections. We provide financial and emotional support, and facilitate social opportunities to help families experience
a sense of normalcy in a difficult time and connect with others facing similar circumstances.
We also help families preserve their “normal” family life, when life as they know it has been turned upside down by providing activities with other families also engaged in
a pediatric cancer journey. Some parents lost their jobs, had their hours cut, or even quit so they didn’t bring the virus home to a sick child. Financial hardship also results
from medical costs not covered by insurance and/or the cost of driving to Milwaukee or elsewhere for specialized treatment. Supporting single moms of children with cancer.
