Letter from the President
The Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico exists to help children and their families as they face the day-to-day struggles of battling childhood cancer. Many families struggle to cover basic expenses because they spend a majority of their time with their children while they receive treatment. Our organization supports New Mexico’s families by providing grocery and food vouchers and emergency expense assistance for transportation and living costs. We strive to fill the gaps left by insurance coverage and other charitable organizations by granting special requests made by families. Our organization also works to improve the environment for the children while they are receiving treatment. We made improvements to the children’s playroom and recovery room in the Pediatric Oncology Clinic at UNM Hospital. We focus our efforts here, in New Mexico, so when you donate to the Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico one hundred percent of your donation will benefit New Mexico’s children and families.
As a 501 (c)(3) organization, The Children’s Cancer Fund functions solely on the generosity of our individual and corporate donors, along with grants from charitable foundations and organizations. We depend on a network of volunteers, made up of people just like you, to enable us to provide these essential services for the children and families of New Mexico fighting childhood cancer.
If you would like to join us in easing the burdens of families seen at UNM’s Pediatric Oncology
Clinic, please contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 505-243-3618.
