About Us

With a growing Upstate population, more and more families are coming to the Children's Hospital Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Center for diagnosis and treatment. Usually one parent has to quit work or take an extended leave of absence to support the treatment of the child. The family's bills become a burden and there simply aren't enough community services or programs to provide for every need.

Fortunately, Clement's Kindess is ready with assistance for these families facing the tremendous challenges while caring for a child with serious illness. The fund is used to help families in the following ways:

Discretionary Funds

For non-medical needs including mortgage payments, car payments, utility bills, car repairs, and more.

Psychological Counseling

For services that are integrated into the treatment plan and conveniently provided right at the Pediatric Hematoloy/Oncology Center.

Travel & Living Expenses

For families of children who must travel out of town to receive treatment.

Out-of-Pocket Costs

For expenses such as gas, meals, and phone calls.
