Family Support

Mira's Movement offers The Children's Cancer Resource
to families of children diagnosed with cancer in Central New York.

The Children's Cancer Resource is a combination of personal support and access to information and tools geared toward newly diagnosed families. It can be hard to reach out to strangers for help during the hardest days of your and your child's life. We know. We've been there. But talking to a family who has been there can alleviate fear and isolation. It can bring hope. The families we've helped tell us time and again--for years down the road--that receiving our support in week one made all the difference. We want to help your family, too.
For more information, call (607) 319-4804 or e-mail support@mirasmovement.org.
