MyChild'sCancer's mission - giving every family facing childhood cancer access to life-saving knowledge - has been recognized by national & international media outlets since 2019, including:
Parents Helping Parents
The Good Man Project
"The first thing I remember when we were told that my daughter had cancer, was black. Everything went dark." ... Since then, Oded and his team have helped save a 14-year-old girl's leg, a 12-year-old girl's leg, a 15-year-old girl's eyesight, and a 3-year-old girl's liver - all with zero dollars spent on marketing, purely through word of mouth.

MyChild'sCancer has helped over 1,000 families since its founding in 2010, now operating in the U.S, Israel, and soon Canada. In 2023 alone, the organization facilitated 90 expert consultations for families - more than half of which changed a child's treatment plan.
"With MyChild'sCancer they will really channel the opinion, make sure that the parents have the right answer to the question," says Dr. Eric Bouffet, a pediatric oncologist at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, who has consulted with the organization for several years. "This is a great organization... the enthusiasm he has, the support he's providing to patients and families."
Children with Cancer, Adults with Compassion.
The Good People Fund
When it all started, Oded Grinstein documented what he'd learned about his daughter's cancer and shared it online - inviting other parents to do the same. "I thought it would be a total waste to let all this information just stay in our heads," he said.
Today, MyChild'sCancer runs international expert committees - covering soft-tissue, bone, neuroblastoma, brain cancer, and more - with specialists from several countries, including Dr. Jonathan Finlay of Ohio State University College of Medicine and Dr. Eric Bouffet of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. "In 100 percent of cases handled by our committees last year, the treatment was changed, altered, or confirmed."
