Dealing with cancer is not easy. Traveling out of town for treatment makes it even harder. Holding Hands Foundation is extending its hands to hold the hands of cancer patients and their caregivers - to offer help and hope when away from home. We offer cancer patients and their caregivers a free place to stay when they have to travel with the hope for effective treatment in another city. Our effort will be to relieve distressed patients and families from worrying about where to stay or how to pay for lodging and allow patients to focus on getting better.

HHF focuses on a simple idea. Nothing else should matter when a family is focused on their loved one's health – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or lay their head to rest at night. For this reason, HHF works to support patients and families throughout their cancer treatment journey.

Our foundation offers emotional support to face cancer with courage. When a loved one has cancer, caregivers experience emotional trauma and need emotional support and to learn new skills for caregivers to loved ones.  The caregiver needs help to improve their own quality of life.   A cancer diagnosis affects and impacts patients, families, and friends.

Our foundation has volunteers who are ready to donate their time to give company to patients and relieve caregivers from doing errands.

We can not do what we do without our volunteers and donors support. Together, we’re making a difference – and you can, too. Become a volunteer, make a tax-deductible donation, donate your time, or participate in a fundraising event to help us to hold hands of those who need us.
