Do 2X the Good for Kids During Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
A generous friend will double every dollar you give by September 30, up to $10,000! Why does it matter? For kids like Rubi.
Rubi was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, when she was just 5 years old. Supportive care, funded by generous people like you, helped Rubi's whole family through their toughest days.
Your gift to the Children’s Fund helps families access the care their child needs, provides wraparound services that make treatment easier on the whole family, and fuels tomorrow’s life-saving breakthroughs. Thank you for your support today!
Meet Rubi: Living with Cancer and Dreaming of Being a Police Officer
Rubi came to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford at age 5, diagnosed with T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Her rare and aggressive cancer had to be treated in ways that nobody—especially a child—should have to endure. Rubi’s parents encouraged her to express her feelings and process them, while her medical care team minimized scary situations and encouraged play.
Supportive care, funded by generous people like you, helped the whole family through the toughest days. Today, Rubi’s thriving as she continues to receive care at our brand new Bass Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases outpatient clinic and Infusion Center.
