Support Through Retreats for Cancer Patients
What We Do
At the Help Sami Kick Cancer Foundation, we believe supporting families facing pediatric cancer isn’t a one-time act — it’s a commitment. From the first crisis to the long road ahead, we walk alongside families through treatment, recovery, and beyond. Whether offering direct financial relief or hosting families at Dreaming Tree Lodge, our goal is the same:
to build a lasting community of care.
Direct Support When It’s Needed Most
We provide financial assistance to families navigating the burdens of childhood cancer — from helping offset travel costs to purchasing groceries to ensuring safe transportation to and from the hospital.
Family Retreats at
The Lodge
We offer families a chance to step away from the hospital and reconnect in nature together. The Lodge — sitting at the heart of The Dreaming Tree Ranch — is a peaceful private retreat space in upstate New York designed for rest, reflection, and togetherness.
Ongoing
Connection
We stay connected with families long after their retreat ends — offering continued support, check-ins, and resources to help them feel cared for through every stage of their journey.
