Kids Cancer Care | Every Car Counts

Is Kids Cancer Care a cause you love? We process vehicle donations for children’s cancer charities each month. Why not learn more about how you can make a difference?

Kids Cancer Care Foundation receives 5 vehicle donation — from one donor!

When a donor found herself settling an Alberta estate this summer, she needed a simple solution for managing multiple vehicles left on her loved one’s property. One by one, we excitedly watched as each unique donation rolled in on behalf of her charity of choice, Kids Cancer Care.

When the agent successfully completed her first free tow, she wrote in to note, “Very good service.” The second wave of vehicles were helped along by a, “Very nice young man,” too!

All-in-all, KCC will receive the net proceeds from her generously donated estate 1992 Buick Regal, 1984 Chevrolet Geo Citation, 1981 Oldsmobile Tornado (she had a “tear in her eye” as she watched this one roll away), 1981 Ford F-250, and 1980 Ford Econoline. These add up to thousands of donation dollars for her charity of choice!

Why Kids Cancer Care Foundation?

The Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta (KCC) is a charitable organization that helps build bridges of hope and pillars of support for families fighting childhood cancer. The Foundation helps Alberta children and families by providing funding and programs in four key areas:

• Camp & Community
• Pediatric Oncology Research
• Clinical Support
• KCC Derek Wandzura Memorial Scholarship

KCC | A story about Rafi

When he was three, he was diagnosed with leukemia. After years of intense chemotherapy and invasive medical procedures, Rafi had finally conquered the disease. But the battle was not over. Rafi was left with a permanent memory deficit that effects his ability to learn.

Now a strapping young lad of 18, Rafi has dreams of becoming an engineer. He was in his final year of high school last spring when the schools shut down due to COVID-19. The timing couldn’t have been worse. Rafi could see his dream slipping away.

How Canadians responded

Thankfully, people like you stepped up to help. Rafi was able to complete his grade-12 year with the help of a tutor through our online tutoring program. With hard work, regular tutoring and constant studying during the spring and summer months, Rafi was accepted into the Electronics Engineering Technology program at SAIT. And, with the help of a Derek Wandzura Memorial Scholarship, also made possible by generous donors like you, Rafi just started his first semester. He and his mother couldn’t be happier: “Now he will have so much confidence going to classes and exams. Your support is a big relief for Rafi and myself.” 

More kids like Rafi

There are so many children in Alberta like Rafi today. They are the little ones who can’t go to school because it’s just too risky for a child on cancer treatment. They are the adolescents who struggle academically because of cancer-related learning issues. You can help. Please donate today to give children with cancer access to Kids Cancer Care’s entire suite of virtual and COVID-adapted programs to help them reach their potential!
