What is the Amount of Financial Assistance?
The amount of financial assistance depends on the revenue deficit and can reach $1000 per month for up to 18 months for cases of serious illness or for as long as the child is undergoing cancer treatment.
We never provide cash: we provide financial assistance in the form of gift cards for groceries, gasoline, pharmacy, and everyday purchases, or we directly pay bills.
We also provide supplements at back-to-school time, Christmas, and children’s birthdays, including siblings.
In 2024, we have supported 113 families from all over Quebec.
In March 2025, we're supporting

30 girls
56 out of 60 children have some form of cancer, including 26 with leukemia.
