Parent Angels, Inc – Parent Angels, Inc. supports children through and beyond their parent's cancer

the transformative support

We believe all children facing a parent’s cancer deserve the chance to fully experience the joys of childhood and be their best selves.

BUILDING COMMUNITY. EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION.

Working alongside the community and supporters, we fund experiences and connections where these children can process, connect, heal, and thrive.

For many of the children, Parent Angels is a life-changing financial and community boost needed to help them in their time of grief. This financial benefit and community support fosters bonds and understanding that builds resilience, confidence, and lasting feelings of hope and joy. That’s the magic of Parent Angels.

The Challenge

Today, more than 5 million children are impacted by a parent’s cancer in the United States. ¹These children can experience increased anxiety, emotional isolation, loss of social interest, and feelings of hopelessness, among other things. While many programs, services, and communities support those coping with their own cancer diagnosis, these children often lack the resources, spaces, or peer-to-peer support tailored to help address their needs and experiences.
