About CBC
In September 2008, our son CJ was diagnosed with cancer at the tender age of 9. Instantly, we found ourselves engaged in a battle we could not have prepared for.
Since then we have been continually surrounded by families also experiencing this unexpected and often overwhelming diagnosis. We have experienced personally and witnessed firsthand the devastating effects that this diagnosis has on an entire family. Isolation, fear, loneliness, frustration and financial burden are all common within these families.
What began as a battle has now become a mission to relieve some of the burden that families face when they have a child with cancer. Children Battling Cancer, Inc. is that mission.
CBC is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to bridging the gap between the community, the church and these families battling this disease. We will do that by raising awareness for the immense struggles they face when a child is diagnosed with cancer and at the same time raising support for the families.
Many of the struggles are common among the families, while others are unique to the structure of each individual family. Regardless, each family is in desperate need of practical help and real hope! We believe both are available and a bridge needs to be built to get those resources and means of support to the families!
It will be a bridge between corporations, local organizations, attractions, groups, clubs and most importantly, the Church, who are God's hands and feet in the world.
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God." ( 2Cor 1:3-4)
