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

Rating: 5 stars  

My son's first experience with Heart Connection was shortly after his cancer diagnosis. He attended Oncology Camp and was able to interact other children in various phases of treatment. Later my daughter attended Sibling Camp where the focus was on her, rather than on her brother. We are grateful that Heart Connection has been a significant part of our lives for the past 16 years.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the faces of the children who attend their summer camps. Those at the oncology camp realize that they are not limited in what they can do.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

watching the children gain confidence after attending camp.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

enthusiastic about the kids.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

continue serving children with cancer and their families by providing backpacks full of educational materials shortly after diagnosis, hosting Young Survivors' conferences, and sponsoring its flagship programs - summer camps.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2009

Role:  Client Served & volunteer at events, donor, board member.
