Every Year, 17,000 Children are Diagnosed With Cancer. Every Second, Ma Hila’s Heart Beats for Them.

Founded in 2017 by Gloria Benavidez-Rodriguez in honor of her mother, our initiative is focused on the longevity of support. We understand the cruel reality of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer by providing and the domino effect it can have on a family. Because we know how long the journey can be, we strongly believe that no family should face these challenges alone.

Whether your loved one is starting their fight or preparing for their wings, we strive to uplift, empower, and guide families in Bexar County throughout every stage of the cancer journey. Our tailored programs address the unique needs of each family we serve, combining a variety of services from financial assistance and emotional counseling to social support initiatives and celebrations of life.
