Review for Children's Cancer Connection, Johnston, IA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Children’s Cancer Connection, CCC, has been a vital part of my family’s lives for 17 years! My son was born with a brain tumor, Astrocytoma, and I’m not sure without the support and guidance of CCC in our lives we could have handled the many layers of stress or comprehended everything. It is joy when you are in a sea of confusion and disbelief. It is fun when you’re using everything in you to just survive. It is a smile, laugh, and relief when you might not have that anywhere else. CCC is family to us. It is our routine of family, oncology, and sibling camp every summer. It is some of our best memories. I know and find solace that the newly diagnosed children and families will be ok because CCC exists. I’ve seen the adults who grew up with CCC and now are counselors and volunteers. I’ve seen the families that travel across America to come to camp with us. I’ve seen the families who lose their beloved child have a home and Cancer Family to always come back to for support and understanding. Children’s Cancer Connection is good and necessary and beloved.
