Compass to Care provides Non Emergency Medical Transportation for children fighting cancer and facing poverty to access treatment.

**One out of every five kids with cancer lives in poverty.** For families who don’t have much money, finding a way to pay for trips to the hospital can be very hard. Even the best cancer doctors can’t help a child if the child can’t get to them.

Compass to Care is a charity that helps kids get to their cancer treatments, no matter where they live in the country. We make sure that kids who need rides to the hospital can get them, right away, so they don’t miss the care they need.

If you can help pay for just one tank of gas or one Uber ride, you can make a big difference in a child’s life. Your help brings hope for a healthier tomorrow and a chance to beat cancer.
