Connect Thru Cancer

Cuddle My Kids mission is to serve as an IN-HOME, NO-COST resource for families with cancer. Our program supports children through creative play, arts and crafts, and enrichment while at the same time offering respite for the sick parent. This provides them uninterrupted time to focus on their own medical issues and healing, increasing their quality of life during treatment. We provide a six -week program with two in-home visits per week to qualifying families. Cuddle My Kids also serves as a resource for educational and wellness information for parents with cancer.

Cuddle My Kids values family. Our goal is to be caring and nurturing to all members of the families with whom we interact, to respect the individual needs and circumstances of each family, to nurture the children in need, to protect the privacy of each family and to promote positive expression and creativity.

Many organizations provide out of the home support, in hospitals, or other locations, some provide money for bills or transportation. We know of no other company that serves as an in-home, no-cost support for cancer patients and their children. The emotional burden of this dreaded disease can be debilitating for the patient and the entire family, and patients have very special needs. We know – we’ve been there.

Many prefer the comfort and convenience of in-home care, yet it can be extremely difficult for their families to meet their entire spectrum of needs. Family caregivers want to care for their family member but it can become very wearing and stressful over time. Cuddle My Kids fills a very necessary need by providing the respite and support for the caregivers and patients with cancer.

Our Program Administrators are all either mothers, teachers, elementary education students, and trained to provide the best care and support for our clients. Each Program Administrator is screened, selected, and trained thoroughly and carefully. Our Nurse Navigator and Program Director are always on call, and reach out to each client on a regular basis to insure that our services meet a consistently high standard in all respects.
