CPFQ Palestinian Child Sponsorship Program

The CPFQ Child Sponsorship Program is designed to build bridges between the Canadian community and Palestinian children living under occupation or in refugee camps. Children enrolled in our program live under conditions of extreme poverty and unemployment. Many of them live in densely populated refugee camps. A suitable infrastructure is absent, seriously threatening the physical and mental health of residents. Many children suffer from serious health problems and disabilities. Due to financial hardship, many have to leave school at a very young age to help support their families. The severe restrictions on employment and movement make the future of these children very bleak. In addition to providing much needed financial assistance, the program helps maintain stable and rewarding relationships between each child and their sponsor. This simple message of hope can offset some of the effects of the chaotic and insecure conditions in which they live.

POGO (PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY GROUP OF ONTARIO)

At POGO, we give kids with cancer the support they need–not just during the difficult time around therapy, but for years after when they can face complications from the treatments that saved them. Each year in Ontario, 400 children are diagnosed with cancer and 4,000 families are currently going through active treatment or follow up care. Many of these families are accessing POGO’s financial assistance program for the unexpected costs associated with a childhood cancer diagnosis. While 82% of children survive, many survivors of brain tumours and other cancers may face learning challenges later in life. POGO counsellors work with these young people to help them match their dreams with their abilities and move on to college or university. POGO also maintains an aggressive research agenda. We are asking the types of questions that will benefit these young cancer patients, their families and survivors—in Ontario and around the world—today and well into the future.
