The Right Place to Stay During Your Child’s Treatment

The families of children battling cancer often must travel to different states to bring their child to the right treatment facility. Traveling or moving to a new place during such a harrowing time can be difficult, taking great emotional and financial tolls on the child and his or her family. It’s crucial for families to have a safe, hopeful place to stay during their children’s treatment programs. The Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral is a wonderful safe haven for families in such trying times.
