Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer

Mama Bears Fighting Childhood Cancer (Mama Bears) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization offering a uniquely supportive community for parents and caregivers with a child diagnosed with cancer.  Mama Bears supports Northern California families with children up to 21 years old who are currently undergoing treatment for childhood cancer. Mama Bears has two essential care resources to provide parents/caregivers, which are our Hospital Survival Wagon or Clinic Cart based on the family's needs. The items included in our wagons and carts are essential items identified through personal experience as crucial and necessary to live comfortably in the hospital and care for a child during hospital stays, clinic visits as treatment continues, and caring for their child at home. In addition to our wagons and carts, Mama Bears provides a safe and private chat community for parents and caregivers to support each other day and night through the ups and downs of treatment.  The private chat community is a confidential space where parents can share, seek support, support each other, plan meet-ups during clinic and hospital stays, and so much more. The goal is to ensure that no parent walks this journey alone. Mama Bear's motto is: “Carry your family, We’ll carry you!”
