The program mentioned in this article has been asserted to be "very important", but the state of the article kind of belies that. Aren't there any sources, besides primary ones, which discuss this program, anywhere? Compare this article to one at Ronald McDonald House Charities for similar organization. It also suffers from over-reliance on primary sources, but it does have one reference from the New York Times and it has a reference to a "100 best charities list" from Ashoka. Does this charity not have any external recognition at all? No newspaper stories where it has a branch? No awards for any reason? --Doncram (talk) 15:16, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
 * At its current state of development, there is no reason this should be split out from the main American Cancer Society article. Which does not even link to here. Which has a couple sources mentioning local Hope Lodges, but not a complete section about it.  Usually we should not split out an article until there is enough coverage in a section that it seems like too much for the main article.  Then we transform the section to a short summary of the topic and include a main link to the larger, split-out article which provides the "main" coverage about that topic.  Right now, there may be more coverage in the higher level article;  this article provides almost nothing. --Doncram (talk) 15:26, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
