Circle of Care for families of children with cancer is a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization focused on supporting the non-medical needs of families navigating a child’s cancer diagnosis. Founded in 2003 by people with lived experience, the organization provides programs and services designed to address the unique challenges families face during the childhood cancer journey, relying on donor generosity and volunteers to deliver its services. It operates within the nonprofit sector, emphasizing community-based support for families rather than clinical care, and allocates the vast majority of donations directly to its programming.

The organization serves families of children with cancer across its region, with active partnerships and collaborations with healthcare institutions such as Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital and Connecticut Children’s Hospital, and a presence in Wilton, Connecticut. It has pursued program expansion and community training initiatives, including launching a state-wide Threads of Hope Training to support grief and loss related to substance use. As a mid-sized nonprofit, Circle of Care maintains a focus on non-medical assistance and family-centered support within the broader landscape of pediatric cancer organizations.
