Compass to Care Childhood Cancer Foundation

Compass to Care funds transportation so children with cancer can reach critical treatment, no matter the distance. The Chicago-based 501(c)(3) partners with hospitals and families nationwide, offering travel assistance when costs make it difficult to get a child to care. Support may cover gasoline and parking, rides through Uber or Lyft, flights, and lodging. Families can apply for assistance, and hospitals can refer families for support. The organization also invites volunteers to help at events, support families, or lend a hand in its office. Its fundraising efforts include the Pass the Keys challenge and An Evening of Hope, an event scheduled in Chicago. Transportation support helps families focus on their child's care.
