Fueling Cancer Recovery
Dream Rydes provides year-round programming, free of charge, for children with cancer and their families.
We give children with cancer transportation assistance for them to make it to their necessary medical appointments and also give children and their families a fun Ryde of A Lifetime experience to bring them joy and fuel their cancer recovery.
There are many financial hardships families with children battling pediatric cancers face outside of the treatment itself which may require them to be at the hospital 1 to 5 times a week. These costs can add up quickly for parents, making it even more challenging for families already grappling with the emotional and physical demands of their child’s illness.
The families we serve are often single parents or underserved, struggling with the financial hardships accumulating about $536 in monthly transportation expenses. With your support, we offer transportation assistance to help alleviate some of those often overlooked hidden expenses.
