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.
Blessing's Way
No Family Can Ever Financially Prepare For A Cancer Diagnosis
Families battling childhood, adolescent, or young adult cancer are referred to our Blessings Way program through our hospital partners, who recognize emergency needs that Ma Hila’s Heart can help address. These needs often encompass critical life maintenance items essential for a family’s stability and well-being. By providing timely and targeted assistance with these critical needs, we aim to significantly ease the financial and emotional burdens faced by these families during their insurmountable challenges on the childhood cancer journey. Our goal is to enhance their quality of life, promote stability, and provide comprehensive support, ensuring these families can focus on their loved one’s recovery without the added stress of financial insecurity.

Champion’s Way
Building Bright Futures for Young Cancer Champions
The brave children, adolescents, and young adults who conquer cancer are celebrated and supported through our Champion’s Way program. We understand that being declared cancer-free is an incredible victory, but it’s also only the beginning of a new life – one that will require support, compassion, and resources that are unique to each champion’s story.
