Everlasting HOPE Center
We bring HOPE to children with cancer and their families through providing advocacy and referrals, medical resources, temporary shelter, transportation, home and hospital visitation, and emotional and spiritual care.
Our Everlasting HOPE Center for Children with Cancer opened in July 2016 and supports children and their families living within the Center and community by providing:
- A home away from home through free temporary shelter for up to 12 children and their family per day traveling from the province or neighboring islands while receiving medical treatment and care in Cebu.
- Medical crisis program, transportation to medical appointments, and home and hospital visitation.
- Daily activities for the child and family such as expressive arts therapy and non-formal education.
- Hosted events such as monthly celebration of life parties and family outreach events and various activities and feedings.
- Emotional and spiritual care through family support groups, individual counseling, daily prayer, bible studies, grant-a-wish, and bereavement services.
- Empowerment of parents through livelihood projects to supplement their child’s medical needs.

Future Plans
We are looking forward to one day owning a property and home in Cebu City large enough to expand our services to provide a Palliative Care Unit for medically fragile children who need further care. We would provide a medical care team who would ensure children are comfortable and receive the care they need in addition to providing much needed emotional and spiritual care; allowing our children to have the best quality of life possible. Having a larger property would also allow us to house even more children who need to be close enough to the hospitals for the best care possible. Please let us know if you want to be a part of making this dream a reality.
