Refer a Family
If you're a hospital social worker, child life specialist, oncology nurse, or other clinician working with pediatric oncology families, Special Love would love to be a resource for the families in your care.
We work in partnership with clinical teams across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region to support the wellbeing of families affected by childhood cancer.
Programs include weeklong summer camps for patients and siblings, family retreats, parent support, emergency financial relief, and educational scholarships — all free, and all built around what families navigating childhood cancer actually need.
We're always looking to deepen our relationships with hospital and clinical teams. Whether you'd like to refer a specific family, set up a brief meeting to learn more about Special Love, or invite us to a staff lunch-and-learn or family event at your facility, we'd love to talk.
Get in touch with Dave Smith, our Hospital Outreach lead, to start a conversation.
