What’s happening now at Kids Cancer Care

YOU’RE HELPING ARTEM FIND HIS WAY BACK TO THE CLASSROOM!

At just two and a half years old, Artem’s childhood changed when he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive brain tumour. After three years of surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and three bone marrow transplants, his family arrived in Canada. Cancer-free but facing a new language, anxiety and his first experience of school at age six, Artem needed support to find his place and rebuild his confidence. Because of you, he didn’t have to do it alone. Your support helped Artem take his first steps into the classroom, giving him the confidence to learn, belong and reclaim the childhood cancer interrupted.

What our families are saying

Before cancer, I was reserved and timid, but now look at me! Look at what I have been through and what I know I can do. Kids Cancer Care is helping to shape the person I am today.

What our families are saying

Cancer is scary. It changes the way you look at the world and how you feel about yourself. By being with other kids like me, I felt a new normal and I feel like I have a place in this world again.
