What is the Heart to Heart Grant Program?
The One Mission Heart to Heart Program provides parents, caregivers, and siblings the opportunity to practice self-care without the financial burden of pediatric cancer. The goal of Heart to Heart is to provide a safe and healthy environment for individuals and families to heal during or after the journey of cancer.
Can’t remember the last time you got your hair done, went to a spin class, or just a new movie? Maybe you want to reconnect with your spouse on a date night or send a sibling to a getaway camp? Examples of activities you can apply for include; therapy sessions, camp, fitness classes, date night (i.e. movie and dinner), or a spa day. With a grant from Heart to Heart, anything is possible!
