How to get help for Children with cancer? Can you tell me the best way to get people to help?

Q: My daughter is 6 yrs,old she went through many test to see if she had cancer.. Thank God she was one of the lucky ones and her test came back normal, she doesnt have cancer but would like to do something for the kids that do.She would like to go to Pediatric cancer hospital and take hats,candy , snacks, etc every saturday so the kids will have something special to look forward to after the hard week they have been through with all the treatments. How can I get people to donate money or snacks so she can do this for the children with cancer? If you have any ideas please let me know.

A: 1. Call St. Jude’s in TN and see what they recommend. She may coudl do it long-distance, or if you’re close, visit and help out w/ your supervision.2. Call the volunteer group at your local hospital and explain what you and your DD would like to do, and see if she can help pass out magazines or books.3. Get involved w/ Girl Scouts (GSUSA) and see if a troop would be willing to make cards or deliver toys w/ your DD and troop leaders. If there are no troops near you, start one.4. Get your DD to write letters to churches, Kiwanis or Rotary clubs, fraternal organizations, or other charitable groups that would have the money and the time to donate. Be sure you both remain accountable for the money and how it was spent in case of any issues arising later.Be aware: Children w/ cancer in the hospital for treatment are VERY sick, and it may scare your DD tremendously. Be sure she is ready to see crying mothers, bald girls and boys, and children too weak to say thank you.SO GLAD your DD is fine!

A: Childhood cancer is the number one killer of children in the US. Out of five children with cancer . . one will die. The average age of a child with cancer is six years old. On a daily basis . . 46 children are diagnosed every day with cancer in the US. 12,500 children a year are diagnosed with cancer. And, there are currently 40,000 children and teens in treatment for childhood cancers.If you are interested in helping support childhood cancer advocacy than check out CureSearch . . a non-profit organization made up of parents, caregivers, and doctors dedicated to eliminating the suffering of all childhood cancers.CureSearchhttp://www.curesearch.org/You can find out how to help:http://www.curesearch.org/support_curesearch/raise_awareness/You can check the statistics for the various cancers in the US and in the world:ACS: Statistics 2007http://www.cancer.org/docroot/stt/stt_0.aspCancer Mondialhttp://www-dep.iarc.fr/As for helping by donating to Locks of Love, the truth is that this charity rarely gives wigs to kids with cancer. They give the wigs to healthy children who have a condition called Alopecia Areata, which is NOT cancer. They give fake hair wigs to kids with cancer. So, you are not giving your hair to children who have cancer at all. The reason is because locks of love only gives children who have long term hair loss . . and kids with cancer only have short term hair loss. Kids with cancer almost never get a real hair wig.
