Dear GSEP,

On behalf of our Board of Directors, dedicated staff, and grateful families, we thank you for your support. Your donation assists children and their families who struggle to find hope and courage as emotional, financial, and social resources become increasingly stressed following their child’s cancer diagnosis. Gifts like the one you have made help to alleviate the grief, stress, and isolation that accompany pediatric cancer.

Since 1983, we have been a source of light for families when their journey felt dark. Forty-three years later, Candlelighters remains the Borderland’s largest provider of completely free, wrap-around pediatric cancer care, including: family services and programming, education and life skills, financial assistance, emotional support and counseling, retreats and camps, and therapeutic services.

Our range of services begins immediately upon diagnosis, lasting throughout the treatment period and thirty months beyond as families return to normalcy. We are deeply grateful for your partnership in supporting these special families during their time of need. For our Candlelighters families, the gift of hope is powerful.

We welcome you to visit our new Candlelighters Program Center to see where we serve the hundreds of families whom we care for year-round. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a tour.
