Among the first side-effects a child may experience after being diagnosed with cancer is isolation. From their friends. Their classmates. Their schools.

Using the technology of tablet computers, web cameras and high-speed Internet connections, Hopecam connects these children helping to overcome their social isolation. We provide equipment, IT support and work with the school to secure and facilitate their participation. 

Help for Families

Pediatric cancer diagnoses are life-changing, but social isolation doesn’t have to be the norm: Hopecam virtually connects kids with classmates—all at no cost to the families or schools! And, the same technology supports telehealth.

Let’s get started: The faster we connect kids, the faster we replace loneliness with joy! 

Help for Schools

It’s a hard truth: Students with cancer, disconnected from classmates, suffer from social isolation. Hopecam can change that! We virtually connect kids and classmates—at no expense—and work hand-in-hand with schools for the best outcome.

Let’s set up students for success and help all kids experience the power of empathy and inclusion. 

Refer a Child

For kids with cancer, social isolation during treatment is daunting: Help counteract that reality with Hopecam! We virtually connect kids and classmates, improving kids’ attitude during treatment, relieving anxiety before procedures, and reducing depression. And, the same technology opens doors to telehealth.

All we need to get started is your referral!

Support Hopecam Kids

Every time a child is diagnosed with cancer and isolated from friends, their mental health is at risk. Hopecam—with your support—can change that trajectory by virtually connecting kids with classmates, at no cost to schools or families.

Help us help kids feel more supported and less depressed through the power of connection.

[Our daughter’s] initial diagnosis and subsequent relapse meant she missed the start of both 4th and 5th grade. It was due to Hopecam that she was able to meet and interact with her new teachers and classmates and consequently had built relationships with them when she was finally able to return to class.

As we celebrate 20 years of helping kids with cancer stay virtually connected to classmates, we are happy to share just a few of our Hopecam heroes.
