Spring News 🐣 Hope for 4 Children

Be Their Light! Spring is a season of renewal, hope, and new beginnings. As flowers bloom and days grow brighter, we’re reminded that every child deserves the chance to grow, thrive and dream without limits. We ask you to open your hearts to these (4) innocent children facing life-threatening challenges as their families struggle to stay financially afloat. Each of their families has received our emergency financial assistance, but they need more. Through our Advocacy Program (last resort program) we reach out to our community for help. Your contribution will ensure these families have food and housing, but most important, you will let them know they are not alone.

Our purpose is to help bridge the gap between mainstream and disadvantaged families fighting childhood cancer so that all children can have an equal chance to beat cancer. 

With gratitude for your consideration,

Sandra Muvdi, MBA

President / CEO
