Help a Family in Need Today!
The treatments for pediatric cancer can last up to three years or more and cost on average $425,000, not including housing, travel and food but the individual cost of care can vary greatly. 30-50% of families will report one parent leaving the workforce due to a pediatric cancer diagnosis and can reach up to a 40% loss of income after work disruption and expenses. 15% of families will fall from above to below the poverty line and funeral costs can range from $6,000 to over $15,000. These families are desperate for help! Donate today and you can help make a difference in a family who is in the fight of their lives.
Funding Research
Saving Sophie is funding cancer research that is focused on bringing no to low toxicity treatments to market that work to reverse damage to the immune system that allowed the cancer to grow in the first place. Learn more about the leading scientific mind behind these incredible studies.
Supporting Patients
Every child deserves to grow up happy, healthy, and with treatment options that not only work, but don't take away their childhood due to extreme toxicity. Saving Sophie has worked diligently to find resources that family can utilize to help guide them on their wellness journey. Whether it be another charity that can provides resources to families, or holistic practitioners that may have additional immune boosting options for those suffering from disease, our Families section can provide tools for families looking for support.
