The average financial assistance grant is $750 to assist towards necessary expenses. They also donate new laptops to teenagers. This program provides teens with a link to the outside world while undergoing cancer treatment and allows them to keep up with their school work while away from the classroom. The Holiday Heroes program provides full holiday joy to families and Heroes Milestones focuses on milestone events in a child’s life that due to a cancer diagnosis might go uncelebrated. The celebrations can include birthday parties, Quinceneras, proms, graduations, and even Celebration of Life parties.
Assistance provided for families can include, mortgage or rent payments, utility assistance, hotel and car expenses, car payments and travel to and from hospital treatments.
Heroes for Children, a Texas nonprofit organization, provides social and financial support to Texas families that have a child battling cancer. Since 2004, Heroes for Children has given nearly $6 million to 6,000 families. They work with hospitals to identify and provide emergency financial assistance directly to families in need, and are the only organization in the state that helps finance funerals and fertility preservation. Because the impact of childhood cancer is felt by the entire family, they arrange activities for the whole household at events in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin. Heroes for Children ensures that no family fights alone.
