Candlelighters of West Texas and New Mexico is there for families who have received the worst news you can imagine as a parent – that your child has cancer. After the shock of the diagnosis comes the complicated challenge of treatment and maintaining a way of life.

Candlelighters provides the most comprehensive range of support services for families experiencing childhood cancer of any nonprofit in the country. They provide financial, psychosocial, and therapeutic programs that address the holistic needs families have during pediatric cancer, getting through the difficult times to a new normal.

Through its grants, TMF is a critical partner enabling Candlelighters to provide continuity and stability to the families they support, 80% of which are low-income and otherwise wouldn’t be able to access any services like Candlelighters.
