Kesem is the leading national nonprofit that supports children affected by a parent’s cancer. Its flagship program, Camp Kesem, is a free week-long, sleep-away summer camp offered across the country by more than 5,300 college student volunteers.

Our dad has been diagnosed with cancer. We don’t know what is to come but You do. You know each treatment, each procedure, and each scan. Take our dad’s cancer battle and declare a great victory!

What a gift you have given us in our grandparents. To be with them is to experience the blessings of all the joy and wisdom they have to share.

You know of the young mom that we adore who is now struggling with cancer. It feels so wrong in every way and yet we know that there is nothing beyond your domain.

Cancer is not easy for anyone to understand and yet children and teens have an additional difficulty due to the way they think. People do not learn abstract thinking until 12-15 years old or later. What does this really mean? It means that without abstract thinking younger people think everything is black or white, good or bad. We see a bright, articulate young person and believe they think like an adult when really they see situations as two sided instead of multi-faceted.

Whether you are 8, 18 or 28 when your parent is diagnosed with cancer, your world suddenly shifts. The questions of what to do, what to say and how to act affects not only the child but the parent too. At a time when instability is the norm, how do you maintain stability in the parent/child relationship?

There are so many amazing ways that Jesus can show up in the midst of your cancer walk. This helps us to breathe in our hope in Jesus. But, on some days, cancer looms so big that it can be hard to remember that Jesus Christ is bigger than the darkness of cancer.

Heavenly Father, You know how much food is part of the holidays and how much I love food. But this year, cancer has robbed me of this joy.
