Programs

HCCF provides a wide range of services and programs to our families, including financial assistance, support groups, social events, education, and advocacy. All HCCF services and programs are entirely free to our children and families.

Kokua Baskets

Given to newly diagnosed children and their families, these baskets contain everything from gift cards to stuffed animals and blankets to help them have a better hospital stay. The basket is accompanied by a book that tells parents about their child’s type of cancer.

Financial Assistance

Our most widely used program is the financial assistance program, which helps families pay expenses not covered by insurance, including housing, utilities, and transportation.

Request Financial Assistance

If your child has, or has had, cancer (diagnosed before the age of 21 years) and has received cancer treatment in Hawaii, you may be eligible for assistance, based on our guidelines. Please download and complete the Patient Assistance Application Form and mail, fax, or email it to HCCF if you would like to apply for financial assistance.
