Sofia's Hope, Inc.

Sofia’s Hope is South Florida nonprofit dedicated to supporting children and families living with pediatric cancer. We are distinguished among other organizations in two meaningful ways: we engage directly with families in need, providing immersive levels of comfort, financial assistance, care and critical resources during the worst moments of their lives. 

In addition, we are the only nonprofit in the United States to play a critical role in the development and growth of the Pediatric Cardio-Oncology field which ensures that children not only survive cancer today but that they thrive long after treatment ends.
