Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Gynecological cancers are the most feared, most deadly, and most under-funded with regards to research. Our aim is to address these issues by supporting patients undergoing treatment by providing funds for nourishing foods, funds for transportation to treatment, and lodging prior to surgery. Funds are given directly to patients who are chosen by chemo nurses based on immediate need.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
SOURCE: IRS Form 990
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
