What we aim to solve
The most critical area of need for the Foundation is depletion of funding during the holidays and winter months of January and February. The patient demand continues to increase and with the increased awareness surrounding the Foundation - we are finding it difficult to respond to the avalanche of patient grant requests from families affected by a cancer diagnosis.
