Hope Express Packs

Cancer doesn't wait for families to pack a bag. Hope Express Packs help fill the gap between the day they expected to have and the hospital stay they suddenly have to navigate.

Who receives a Hope Express Pack?

Hope Express Packs are created for families navigating a new pediatric cancer diagnosis. Our goal is to place a pack in their hands as close to diagnosis as possible, when an unexpected hospital stay can leave families without the everyday things they suddenly need.

As DCC establishes hospital partnerships, Hope Express Packs will be distributed through participating pediatric oncology programs and approved referral pathways. Availability will depend on program inventory, funding, and capacity.

Help Us Keep Hope Moving

Hope Express Packs are made possible by the people who help us fill them. Every donation helps DCC prepare another backpack for a family whose world has just changed.
