Covid-19 / the Coronavirus is having a global impact and is affecting each one of us. Of concern to CHOC is the health and safety of all involved with CHOC, especially the children and teens with cancer who are under treatment, many of whom have compromised immune systems. In addition to that, the restrictions placed on all of us, and the nationwide lockdown has complicated our operations and is placing limits on what we can do. At the same time, our priority is that the children and teens we serve must continue to get the vital services, support and care they need from us.
As a result of these restrictions, all CHOC fundraising events (both internal and external) have been cancelled which will result in a significant loss of income in the foreseeable future. Without a steady flow of income, we will struggle to continue to provide our beneficiaries with the care and support they need, which will have a significant impact on their overall well-being.
I appeal to all of our loyal supporters, family and friends to open your hearts and help us continue to walk the journey with the children and their families. We are only able to do this if we have sufficient resources to implement our programmes.
Together we can ensure that our little warriors can be kept safe during this very difficult time in our country.

Statistics
CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation

CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation SA is the only organisation in South Africa that provides comprehensive countrywide support for children with cancer and other life-threatening blood disorders, and their families. CHOC has a head office in Johannesburg, six regional offices, two branches, and 12 accommodation facilities close to treatment centres. CHOC relies heavily on corporate sponsors, donations from groups or individuals wanting to make a difference in the lives of these little ones.
Their comprehensive support improves the welfare and quality of care of children with cancer and offers families a wide range of psychosocial services and practical support such as counselling, free accommodation, free transport and transport fund to ensure that no child abandons treatment due to the family not affording transport costs, food parcels as they recognise the financial difficulties families often face and parent to parent support groups. CHOC also plays a leading advocacy role and promotes early detection to save lives nationally.
