Every day in the United States, 36 children are diagnosed with cancer. 

Adrian got diagnosed with ALL on September 6th, 2012, (a) few days before his 11th birthday and since then he is on treatment with chemo... He is doing very well but what he misses most is going everyday to school and sharing daily with his friends...before this school year he always had perfect attendance so you can imagine how hard (it) was for him to miss so many classes ... Fortunately, and thanks to a mother we met in his oncology clinic, we learned about this marvelous program HOPECAM so Adrian will have the opportunity of still being in touch with his peers and teachers...he just received his iPad and he just can not wait to get in touch with his classmates!!!...

Thank you very much and God bless you!!!

What We Do

You can be the HOPE in Hopecam


Among the first side-effects a child may experience after being diagnosed with cancer or another life-threatening illness is isolation. From their friends. Their classmates. Their schools.

Using the technology of tablet computers, web cameras and high-speed Internet connections, Hopecam connects these children helping to overcome their social isolation. We provide equipment, IT support and work with the school to secure and facilitate their participation.

Hopecam is able to provide all of this, free of charge to the child and the school, because of the generosity of our donors. Your gift today will connect a child to life!
