About the Company

Here to Serve ( a 501 (c) (3) charity, provides coordinated non-medical support programs and resources for the parent(s) with children battling cancer from the point of diagnosis throughout treatment. 60% of the cancer journey happens in the home without coordinated support. Here to Serve fills this healthcare gap. 

We believe a child or young parent’s cancer diagnosis is a life-altering “journey.” For that reason, the care and support of families is required to prevent caregivers from losing their health, home, and job, and entering into bankruptcy. Therefore, we provide non-medical wraparound services to meet the daily living needs of families and caregivers navigating their child’s cancer. 

Cancer is a three-legged stool, not two! Research, Treatment, AND Journey! The journey is as profound and consequential as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Therefore, a family's cancer "journey" requires the same awareness, support, and funding as cancer research and hospitals that treat cancer. Of the billions of dollars of funding for cancer, only .001% is provided to families with children actually battling cancer!

Flexible work from home options available.
