About Us
A Mother's Kiss is a not-for-profit organization formed for the purpose of providing emotional and financial support to the families of childhood cancer patients in the Long Island area. Since 1994 we have been helping these special families any way we can. By working in cooperation with the Pediatric Oncology departments at our partner hospitals, we are able to develop a team approach to helping the families. Please be aware that although there are many families afflicted with many different types of illnesses, A Mother’s Kiss focuses solely on children with pediatric cancers.
