Where we help:
ASK is proud to support children and their families across Virginia in their cancer journey.
How we help our families:
Fighting cancer can be an isolating experience. We helped our kids and families build meaningful connections throughout 2023 with more than 100 program events.
On average, kids miss 43 days of school during their first year of treatment. In 2023, we helped more than 500 patients return to school with the support they need to be successful.
Half of all families with a child in treatment will experience severe financial hardship. In 2023, we helped families stay afloat with more than $250,000 to cover everyday expenses.
Lending a Helping Hand for 50 years!
Since 1975, ASK has been committed to providing Assistance, Support, and Kindness to children with cancer and their families—during treatment and beyond. What began in Richmond, VA has grown to serve families across the state through educational support, family services, and community connection. Thanks to you, we’ve funded key positions, offered financial aid, and built a support network that reaches beyond medical care.
But there’s still more to do—together, we can ensure no child or family faces cancer alone.
