THESE SERVICES HELP REDUCE THE OVERWHELMING STRESS ASSOCIATED WITH PEDIATRIC CANCER AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THEIR CHILD'S TREATMENT JOURNEY. A DIAGNOSIS OF CHILDHOOD CANCER CREATES AN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CRISIS THAT IS OFTEN FOLLOWED BY A SEVERE FINANCIAL CRISIS. FOR MANY FAMILIES, THE SUDDEN LOSS OF INCOME COMBINED WITH INCREASED MEDICAL AND TRANSPORTATION EXPENSES PLACES THEM AT IMMEDIATE RISK OF HOUSING INSTABILITY, UTILITY SHUTOFFS, FOOD INSECURITY, AND LOSS OF RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO LIFESAVING TREATMENT. THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THAT ENABLES FAMILIES TO MEET ESSENTIAL LIVING EXPENSES. THIS DIRECT, TANGIBLE SUPPORT HELPS STABILIZE FAMILIES IN CRISIS, ALLOWING PARENTS TO REMAIN FOCUSED ON THEIR CHILD'S TREATMENT AND RECOVERY WHILE GIVING CHILDREN THE BEST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES. WHEN A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, A PARENT OR PRIMARY CAREGIVER FREQUENTLY MUST LEAVE THE WORKFORCE OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE EMPLOYMENT TO PROVIDE FULL-TIME CARE. CHILDREN UNDERGOING TREATMENT OFTEN REQUIRE REPEATED HOSPITALIZATIONS, FREQUENT MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, HOMEBOUND EDUCATION, AND STRICT INFECTION PRECAUTIONS BECAUSE OF COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH THE RESULTING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP IS TEMPORARY, IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION, SO IT DOES NOT JEOPARDIZE A FAMILY'S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN BASIC NECESSITIES DURING TREATMENT. THE MAJORITY OF FAMILIES SERVED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ARE SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS AND LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WHO QUALIFY FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID AND SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. THESE FAMILIES LIVE AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES AND HAVE LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO ABSORB THE UNEXPECTED COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDHOOD CANCER. THROUGH MEASURABLE OUTCOMES, JJCCF DEMONSTRATES THAT TIMELY EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PRODUCES IMMEDIATE, TANGIBLE RESULTS BY HELPING FAMILIES MAINTAIN BASIC NECESSITIES, REDUCING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP, AND ALLOWING CHILDREN TO CONTINUE RECEIVING UNINTERRUPTED CANCER TREATMENT. THE ORGANIZATION'S WORK ENSURES THAT FINANCIAL INSTABILITY DOES NOT BECOME AN OBSTACLE IN A CHILD'S FIGHT AGAINST CANCER AND ADVANCES ITS MISSION OF GIVING EVERY CHILD, REGARDLESS OF ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES, AN EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITY TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE.
