Photograph caption dated September 12, 1964 reads "A mother and her son (backs to camera) visit the Valley Aid for Cancer office in Van Nuys to seek financial aid for a small daughter who has cancer. The child needs hospital care and the middle income bracket family has exhausted its funds. Above, the woman is interviewed by VAC president, Mrs. Lester Sill and Mrs. Maurice Sheets, financial secretary. Later, the child's doctor will be contacted so VAC can find out exactly what medical care the young cancer victim needs."; See images #00134446 through #00134448 for all photos in this series.
