Family Aid

Let us ease your financial burden during your child’s cancer treatment.

When I was going through cancer treatment, all I wanted was to have my parents by my side and they wanted the same. They put their lives on hold to be with me. For most families, that means stepping away from jobs, bills, and daily responsibilities. But the bills still come. That’s why we offer financial assistance to families of children with cancer so they can focus on what matters most: healing.

“When Daniz was diagnosed with cancer, there was no hope for her in Azerbaijan. Then I was connected to Elana, whose charity covered all our medical expenses and travel to New York and embraced us like family. If it weren't for them, Daniz might not be with us today.”
