There are a number of ways that your support of Team Continuum provides for young cancer patients and their families:
Patient/Family Assistance Program:
Team Continuum pays bills for patients’ non-medical needs such as rent, mortgage, utilities, gas, car, transportation to/from treatment, temporary out-of-town accommodations, schoolbooks, computers, theater tickets, reunions, holiday gifts, birthday treats, and more. As of January 1, 2016, financial support from Team Continuum is limited to families affected by childhood cancers, only (ages 0 – 18). Our aid is focused exclusively in the Northeast (only because it becomes difficult to manage the influx of applications, otherwise, and we are financially limited) and we work closely with our designated charity partners as well as specific referring social workers.
Toys for Kids Program:
Starting in 2016, Team Continuum will host an annual toy drive (November) to provide hospitals and care facilities in the NYC Metro Area with various toys, video games and books for children who must be away from home for cancer treatment for long periods of time, and over the holidays.
The “Fierce Foods Academy” Partnership
This nutrition program for children in treatment is led by our amazing friends and charity partners at the Max Love Project.
