About Us

Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan is a statewide

organization that provides information, financial assistance,

and emotional support to Michigan families that have

been affected by leukemia, lymphoma, and related blood

disorders. We offer a variety of services to meet your needs

and your family's needs.

We've been helping patients and their families in a

compassionate and personalized manner since 1952.

We've been there. We know. And until there's a cure, we're

here to help.

Need Financial Support? We Can Help

We offer a Financial Assistance program - up to $1,000

per fiscal year toward . . .

- Treatment costs for patients with little

or no insurance

- Prescription costs for patients with little

or no insurance

- Travel to and from treatment centers

- Wigs and head coverings

We also offer a Special Needs Fund - up to $500

(separate from the $1,000) to cover the expenses that

fall through the cracks of traditional financial aid

programs (e.g. lodging, rent/mortgage, auto repairs, child

care, etc.).

Real People, Real Support

If you call CLF during normal business hours, you'll always

get a friendly voice to talk to. You get the support and

answers you need, when you need them - now.

Information Is Empowering

Our social workers listen to patients and caregivers,

determining needs and providing a steady hand through

tough times. We provide casework and information &

referral services in order to guide families to the resources

they need.

Through our Resource Room we provide print, audio, video,

and electronic information to help families learn more

about cancer and issues surrounding it. The Resource

Room is available on either a walk-in or mail-out basis.

All newly registered families receive Stepping Stones, a

150-page binder filled with facts, interactive exercises, and

referrals that empower families with the information they

need to gain answers to their illness-related questions.

The Emotional Support You Need

We offer a Peer Support Network to connect newly

diagnosed patients and family members with trained

volunteers who share common experiences.

We host days of respite that give families a chance to have

fun and meet others facing similar circumstances.

During the holidays, our Hearts For Hope Project: Share

the Joy With a Toy, lifts families' spirits at a time when

they are facing many stresses on their finances, time,

and emotions.

We offer a Ticket Program that sends families to local

entertainment events, giving them temporary, but

needed, respite from the demands of living with a

serious illness.
