The CAPUCINE Association

The purpose of this non-profit Association is :

- To help children suffering from MALIGNANT HAEMOPATHIES AND LEUKEMIA.

- To provide financial help to parents, to allow them to stay with their hospitalised child during the most difficult moments.

- To create special centres offering children and their family a place where they can rest and recover during remission periods.

Application will be submitted to a commitee of volunteers composed of doctors, nurses and social workers.

Funding:

- Private contributions from family friends,
- leisure and artistic events (concerts, exhibitions...),
- subsidies and financial aid from ministries, regional and local authorities, the French Foundation (Fondation de France), etc...
- donations and contributions from industrial and financials groups (pharmaceutical industry, companies, banks...).

Approximately 450 children are hospitalised in France for blood cancers or diseases.

Approximately 100 families are in difficult financial situation and cannot easily accompany their child during his/her hospitalisation.

Since its creation in 1996, the Association has been able to help approximately 30 families.
