Mentoring children impacted by a loved one's cancer.

About us

Walk With Sally (WWS) provides hope through our individualized mentoring and community support services to empower children experiencing trauma through a parent, guardian or sibling's cancer journey. Since 2005 WWS has helped over 350 children and their families throughout Los Angeles County. By providing not only free of charge one-on-one mentoring from an adult who has been through it, but also an annual curriculum consisting of quarterly Friendship Activities bringing the entire community of mentors, mentees, families and prospective families together for an afternoon of fun, learning and connection, art healing sessions to help children begin to talk about the anxiety, fears and many times grief that live just beneath the surface, Young Leaders Club for teen mentees looking for more leadership and life skills as well as Scholarships and Emergency Financial Assistance to those families struggling the most, WWS’s Friendships last on average 2.2 years compared to the national mentoring average of 1.8. Cancer changes everything, Walk With Sally is there to help.

    CEO at Walk With Sally

    As many of you know, Walk With Sally was founded on the belief that no child impacted by cancer should walk alone. This time of year can not only be triggering, but also traumatizing. Cancer doesn't care how old you are or that this time of year is supposed to be filled with magic and wonder. In fact, the holidays can be a cruel reminder of loss and the many costs associated with diagnoses and treatment. The heartbreaking reality for many of our families is not only are they living below the poverty line because of cancer, but this is either the first holiday season without their parent or sibling, or they know it will be their last. That's where we come in! Our commitment is to ensure that we can provide the additional critical mental health and financial empowerment services needed for this time of increased need. With 11 days left for our Hope For The Holidays campaign, we aim to raise $100,000 to ensure our programming through out this season and into 2024. Whatever is a significant contribution for you, is a significant contribution to us and to the hope of a child. Join us in making this season bright! https://lnkd.in/gtFHBh8W
