This year, over 2,000 children will be affected by cancer in our community.
Until there's a cure, Jacob's Heart is here.
Jacob’s Heart Children’s Cancer Support Services exists to improve the quality of life for children with cancer and support their families in the challenges they face.
Our service area includes Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, and South Santa Clara Counties in California.

Support for the Whole Family
At Jacob's Heart, parents are the expert. We're here to support them as they care for their family through one of life’s greatest challenges.

“Jacob’s Heart guided us every step of the way, providing what we needed when we needed it – people to talk to who understood what was happening, information and explanations when we were confused, even gasoline for our car so we could make the countless trips back and forth to the hospital, and groceries when we couldn’t get to the store.”
Eric, Amani’s dad
