Why Your Contribution Matters

You make a visible, immediate and significant impact in the lives of these patients and families going through the most difficult moments of their lives. Your gift will serve an under-served population of patients in the cancer community, facing unique challenges including hiatus from school and/or work, lack of insurance, social isolation, delay of diagnosis, fertility preservation, among many other obstacles. Many of our beneficiaries, while often diagnosed with pediatric cancers, are not afforded the same financial and support-based resources provided to pediatric cancer patients under the age of 18. The families assisted by this “Pay it Forward” mission include patients of single parents struggling to make ends meet, parents that have taken a leave of absence from work to care for their sick child, young adults without much family to lean on, and more difficult examples. All beneficiaries are in financial distress, facing the most difficult moments of their lives as they battle cancer. Your contribution is crucial in bringing joy and helping ensure these families know they are not alone in this fight.
