Our Approach

At The Lonon Foundation, we understand that a cancer diagnosis impacts an entire family. Children who have a parent or caregiver with cancer often experience increased anxiety, stress, and feelings of loneliness. Through our free resources we promote coping and resilience, helping children find comfort, heal, and grow from their shared experiences.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help children affected by their parent or caregiver’s cancer diagnosis find comfort, heal and grow from their shared experiences.

UPLIFT Program

UPLIFT is our FREE monthly program for children, ages 0-17, who have a parent or caregiver with cancer.
