Our testimonials

Childhood Cancer never takes a backseat, leaves you vulnerable, upset, worried, scared. When I feel I can’t deal with any more bad news, there are people in the world that renew your faith in humanity. That is what I thought of when I took time to think about your foundation and what it means to my family and I. My job is to worry about my daughter, I do as much footwork as I can to keep her daily health in check. Your foundation has taken some of the financial burden off my mind and allows me to focus on her. Not stressing about going to the store, not being able to afford certain items, especially co-pays, food, medical assistance. In the upcoming month we have several different, CAT scans, MRIs, labs, EKG, EEG, multiple tests, new doctors on the docket… then you called me and asked me what I need help with! You have yet to meet my family in person and are literally making sure we are OK (like family). This blows my mind and makes me feel loved. It’s amazing how complete strangers can offer love and genuine kindness, for so many families so many miles away. You are a true bunch of selfless individuals, spreading sunshine to the world.
