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, Talaya Frazier’s infant daughter, Cheyanna, became ill. Despite visits to countless doctors and specialists, no one could diagnose her condition. The family felt isolated, desperate, and afraid—without community support or anyone who truly understood their journey. Eventually, Cheyanna was diagnosed with a very rare condition that had no treatment or cure, yet the family pressed on in search of therapies and healing.
​
Through Perseverance, They Found Healing
After years of uncertainty, the Fraziers experienced a miracle healing for Cheyanna. In 2012, motivated by their frightening and frustrating experience, Talaya founded Cheyanna’s Champions 4 Children (CC4C) so that other children facing rare or undiagnosed conditions would never have to walk alone. Her vision was clear: to give families the chance to access resources, care, and hope during their most difficult moments. At the time, CC4C was the only nonprofit of its kind in Texas.
​
Thousands of Children Have Been Helped
What began as one family’s desperate search for answers has grown into a statewide movement. Today, with the support of dedicated volunteers, donors, and staff, CC4C has enhanced the lives of thousands of children across Texas. The organization provides families with financial assistance, access to mental health and wellness programs, and uplifting events and experiences that would otherwise be out of reach.
Together, CC4C continues to champion children and their families—bringing them out of the darkness of isolation and into the light of community, faith, and hope.
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
To enhance the quality of life for children and families in Texas with rare and undiagnosed conditions.

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.
