About This Resource
Resource Stats
Candlelighters Nevada gets what your family is going through right now. They've been supporting childhood cancer families across Nevada for years, and they know exactly what you need when your world gets turned upside down by a diagnosis.
They provide emotional support through support groups where you can connect with other parents who truly understand what you're facing. You'll find practical help too, like assistance navigating the medical system and connecting with resources you didn't even know existed.
They offer educational support to help your child keep up with school during treatment, and they understand that siblings need attention too. The organization runs family events and activities that give your whole family a chance to just be together and have some normalcy.
They also provide information and advocacy support to help you become the best advocate for your child. What I love about Candlelighters Nevada is that they're not just there during treatment, they stick with families through the entire journey, including survivors and bereaved families.
They understand that childhood cancer affects the whole family, not just the patient, and their programs reflect that. The staff and volunteers often include other cancer parents, so you're getting support from people who have walked this path before you.
