About This Resource
Resource Stats
The Emilio Nares Foundation provides comprehensive support for families navigating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. They offer free transportation to medical appointments through their Ride with Emilio program, ensuring no child misses life-saving treatments due to transportation barriers. Their Family Resource Center provides multilingual wrap-around services including access to shelter, food, mental health services, employment help, childcare, and bedside assistance when children are hospitalized.
They also provide hospital-approved snack bags for children fasting for chemotherapy, therapeutic knitting and crocheting sessions to help families cope and build community, and outdoor healing activities for families with children in recent cancer remission. For families facing the unimaginable loss of a child, they offer financial support for burial expenses, emotional guidance, and protection from predatory practices during this difficult time.
