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.

Leia’s Kids provides financial assistance to families facing childhood cancer to help ease the burden of everyday expenses during treatment. While we cannot guarantee funding for every applicant, our goal is to provide hope and practical support when families need it most.

To be eligible for financial assistance through Leia’s Kids, applicants must meet the following requirements:

• The child must have a diagnosis of childhood cancer.
• The child must be 15 years of age or younger.
• The family must reside in the United States.
