Financial Grant Application

The mission of the Leia’s Kids Financial Grant is to help offset miscellaneous costs such as travel for treatment, food insecurity, child care, and assistance with unpaid bills for families impacted by childhood cancer.

($500 per Family)

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for assistance, families must meet the following requirements:
✔ U.S. Citizen or Resident
✔ Child must be actively in treatment or within five years post-treatment
✔ Child must have a diagnosis of pediatric cancer
✔ Child must be between the ages of 0-18
