Jacob’s Heart improves the quality of life for children with cancer by supporting their families in the challenges they face. Since 1998, we have provided comprehensive emotional, practical, financial, and peer support to hundreds of children with cancer and thousands of their family members, including family-centered grief support to bereaved families.
While we always hold on to hope, the loss of a child to cancer is an unimaginable reality that families face. Our Forever Loved Grief Retreat creates a safe environment for bereaved families to explore, feel, and release their grief, supported by a community that understands without words. In April 2025, 70 family members will grieve together with our bilingual/bicultural staff onsite to build safety, security, and belonging as we move families toward hope and healing.
We envision a community where every child with cancer or in remission from cancer has a strong and informed family empowered to participate in their care. We strive to inspire compassionate action in local communities to create a safety net of support for the unique needs of each child and family.
I have no words to express how thankful we are to Jacob’s Heart. The support, encouragement, and love we received was incredible.
