The Emily Whitehead Foundation is uniquely aware of the heightened concerns, struggle, and uncertainty that pediatric cancer patients and their families have to face, especially those undergoing CAR T-cell therapy treatment.
To provide much needed support, we are activating the Hope Grant program to financially assist eligible families.
