About Us
CC4C is a nonprofit that uplifts children with rare and undiagnosed conditions and their families across Texas. Founded in 2012 by Talaya Frazier during her daughter Cheyanna’s medical journey, CC4C offers more than support—it provides a lifeline. Serving children ages 0–18 and their families, CC4C surrounds the whole family with community, hope, and healing through programs like Dream Teams, TRIBE 4 Moms, TRIBE 4 Dads, and Sibling Adventures.
​
The organization provides direct financial assistance for critical, non-covered medical care and eases emotional and logistical burdens by connecting families to mental health services, respite care, therapy, and curated resources—freeing families to focus on what matters most. Guided by hope, faith, love, and gratitude, CC4C builds lasting connections that lift families in their darkest moments. With plans to expand statewide and deepen programs, CC4C is committed to going further for every child, parent, and sibling in need.
Our Founding Story
A sick child, with an unknown disorder
In 2006, my infant daughter, Cheyanna, became ill and not a single doctor or specialist could diagnose her disorder. My family and I felt isolated, desperate and afraid. At the time, there was no community support for us. Not a single doctor, family member or friend could understand our situation. Eventually, we learned she had a very rare condition that had no treatment or cure. However, we continued to seek therapies and treatments.
Through perseverance, we found healing
Eventually we did discover a solution and received a miracle healing. In 2012, motivated by this frightening and frustrating experience, I started Cheyanna’s Champions 4 Children (CC4C) in the hopes that more children with undiagnosed or rare conditions would have an opportunity to heal. My journey taught me that there are countless children like Cheyanna who need a Champion to fight for them. At that time, CC4C was the only non-profit of its kind in the state.
Thousands of children have been helped
My path was unclear but my determination was unwavering. Today, with the help of a large team of volunteers, supporters, and staff, CC4C’s mission has enhanced the lives of thousands of children battling rare and undiagnosed medical conditions in Texas. We provide children and families access to mental health and wellness programs, offer financial assistance, and give them access to events and experiences that otherwise would be impossible.
Together, we can Champion these children and their families out of the darkness of isolation and into the light.

Core Values
At the heart of our organization are five guiding values—Hope, Faith, Love, Gratitude, and Transparency—which shape every action we take and every life we touch.
Hope
We inspire hope in families facing the fear and uncertainty of rare and undiagnosed conditions—believing that every child’s journey can be transformed, and that brighter days lie ahead, even in the most difficult moments.
Faith
Faith anchors us through uncertainty. We trust in each family’s resilience and believe that healing unfolds in both seen and unseen ways. We honor all expressions of faith and hold space for families to explore their own along the way.
Love
We surround every child and family with unwavering, unconditional love. This love creates a place of true belonging—where struggles are met with compassion, victories are celebrated, and no one walks alone.
Gratitude
We treasure each connection, finding meaning in quiet milestones and unexpected breakthroughs. With deep gratitude, we honor the courage of every child, every parent, and every heart that makes our mission possible.
Transparency
We are committed to openness and honesty in all we do. We clearly communicate how every dollar is used and the impact it creates, so our donors, sponsors, and supporters can see exactly how their generosity changes lives.
Our Mission

Financial Assistance
Why it matters: Insurance doesn’t cover everything families need. From genetic testing to therapies and travel to distant specialists, medical costs create impossible choices for parents already stretched thin.
What we do: CC4C removes financial barriers by covering critical care and therapies often denied by insurance—restoring hope, stability, and gratitude in the midst of hardship.
