impact today

Every mile we drive. Every dollar you give. Every child we fight for.

When a child is battling cancer, the last thing their family should worry about is how they’ll afford gas, food, or a place to sleep near the hospital. That’s where you come in.

With the exception of basic truck maintenance, 100% of your donation goes directly to families of children with cancer — no overhead, no fluff, just real help when it matters most.

💛 How Your Gift Helps:

  • Covers gas and travel costs for hospital visits

  • Supports meals and lodging during extended stays

  • Provides emergency assistance for unexpected expenses

  • Delivers comfort items and care packages to children in treatment

Ways to Give

  • One-Time Donation – Any amount makes a difference

  • Monthly Giving – Be a steady source of hope year-round

  • In Honor or Memory – Dedicate your gift to someone special

  • Corporate Matching – Ask your employer about matching programs

Because it’s all about the kids — and together, we can carry them through.
