The mission of the Chance for Hope Foundation is to provide support services for children with cancer and their families, funding for pediatric cancer research and treatment, and educational resources to the general public regarding pediatric cancer.
Provide supporting services for children with cancer, and the families of those children.
The Chance for Hope Foundation signed its first apartment lease in November 2014 and now has multiple residences providing over 1,800 nights of free lodging annually. The Chance for Hope Residences are fully-furnished one-bedroom apartments in the Texas Medical Center, provided at no cost to families traveling to Houston for pediatric cancer treatments. The residences are provided on a first come, first serve basis, and offer a shuttle service that provides quick access to Texas Children's Hospital and the University of Texas MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital and Proton Therapy Center.
Despite the tragedy of children lost to cancer, childhood cancers of all types receive only 4% of U.S. federal funding for cancer research. This disparity is significant because childhood cancers are not the same as adult cancers, and therefore treatment protocols and therapies are not interchangeable. In 2015, the Chance for Hope Foundation commenced its research endeavors, with the goal of reducing this major funding gap. As part of this effort, the Foundation funds and monitors research initiatives designed to improve treatment protocols and ultimately to find a cure for childhood cancer, with a focus on cancer of the brain and central nervous system, which is now the deadliest form of cancer in children and comprises 18% of all pediatric cancer diagnoses. We understand that the challenge of finding a cure for childhood cancer is significant, and that research funding needs are great, but the funds we raise together, along with efforts of childhood cancer organizations across the globe, can and will make a difference.
Chance for Hope Foundation partners with local restaurants that generously provide meals on a discounted basis. Foundation volunteers deliver these meals to families whose children are receiving in-patient cancer treatment at Texas Children's Hospital and MD Anderson Children's Cancer Hospital. The Foundation's meal delivery program currently occurs on a twice monthly basis and will increase in frequency as donations permit.
