Nankind

A world where every parent with cancer receives the support they need to no longer choose between their care and the care of their children. Where their children have the support of a specially trained volunteer angel to share their feelings in a healthy way and build emotional resilience.

In 2009 Audrey Guth, a mother in the midst of her own cancer journey, witnessed a mother and child in a cancer waiting room and recognized a critical gap in care: parents struggling to balance treatment with caregiving. She founded the Nanny Angel Network (NAN), driven by a mission to reduce the social and emotional toll of cancer on families through free support for mothers, fathers, and primary caregivers.

NAN has since evolved into Nankind, expanding to deliver critical intervention for children experiencing the trauma of parental cancer. Through a growing community of Volunteer Angels, referral partners, and sponsors, Nankind provides free supportive cancer care to families, one at a time.

To date Nankind has supported 3,000+ families, empowered 4,000+ children, provided 70,000+ meals and delivered 100,000+ hours of free childcare.
