Families navigating pediatric cancer shoulder emotional, financial, and logistical burdens. In the Fredericksburg region, the Fairy Godmother Project (FGP) helps caregivers reclaim time and stability—funding essentials like meals, gas and grocery cards, house cleaning, and emotional support so parents can focus on their children.
FGP provides practical and emotional support across programs that meet families where they are—including end-of-life support and bereavement care through its Stargazers Program. Services include gift cards for urgent expenses, in-home help, coordination of community support, and memorial assistance.
Here are some events to mark on your calendar:
