Description
Wipe Out Kids' Cancer works relentlessly to achieve the day when Cancer no longer threatens any child. The organization provides Buddy bags to ease the sudden and unexpected admission of pediatric patients to hospitals without adequate supplies for a lengthy stay. WOKC's unique Warrior program acknowledges that Cancer affects not only the diagnosed child but also their family, providing hope and support beyond the child's health concerns. Furthermore, WOKC focuses on social welfare, and it operates from Dallas, TX.
