About Us:

The Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) generously provided Wonders & Worries with funding to conduct a pilot support group for children who have a parent with cancer in the Spring of 2001.

Upon completion, the program was evaluated and shown to be extremely beneficial for all children and families involved. Wonders & Worries was incorporated on August 8, 2001 and the necessary paperwork was filed to obtain 501 (c) (3) status from the Internal Revenue Service.

Seeing the value of the service and possible opportunities for growth, an additional LAF grant in the Fall of 2001 expanded Wonders & Worries services to include a school age support group, an adolescent support group, individual counseling for children who have a parent with cancer and a social function for the reunion of all Wonders & Worries participants.

Today, Wonders & Worries provides comprehensive services to children, youth, and families impacted by chronic and/or life threatening illnesses.
