Heroes for Children advocates for and provides financial and social assistance to families with children battling cancer in Texas and select hospitals nationally. Since 2004, Heroes for Children has given more than $7 million to over 8,000 families. Working with every hospital in Texas treating pediatric cancer and select hospitals nationally, Heroes for Children provides emergency financial assistance directly to families in need. We are the only organization in the state that provides financial assistance for fertility preservation and funerals. Because the impact of childhood cancer is felt by the entire family, program events in DFW, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin provide activities for the whole household. Heroes for Children ensures that no family fights alone.
