Join me in bringing joy and financial relief to families battling cancer during today's COVID-19 crisis. I am proud to support The Andrew Weishar Foundation in "paying it forward" and have personally witnessed the impact this mission has on the lives of people facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Every dollar makes a difference as we set out to ensure no one faces their fight alone.

About this Campaign

Bring joy & ease the financial burden for 30 families facing both cancer and the impact of COVID-19


During today's medical and economic crisis, help us bring much needed joy and financial relief to patients and families battling cancer.

We're on a mission to directly uplift 30 families with adolescents or young adults battling cancer during today's COVID-19 crisis. We're delivering $5,000 financial grants directly to new beneficiaries and meeting with them virtually! Our mission is simple - bring joy, ease the burden, and ensure these patients know they're not alone in this fight.

These families need us now more than ever and there’s a few specific reasons why: 

  • Added Financial Burden: Cancer brings a staggering financial toll - today's economic uncertainty adds to this burden
  • Loss of Income: The common inability to work through treatment is now often coupled with job loss during today's COVID shut-downs
  • Heightened Medical Risk: With weakened immune systems, cancer patients were already at extreme health risk before COVID came into the picture

Today’s medical and economic climate is a big deal for all of us, but these struggles for the families we serve surely put all of this into perspective. 

The best part?! You see where your donations go!

Each week we highlight a beneficiary benefiting from your generosity. Watch our first ever virtual visit and meet Bianca! (Click here!) Bianca is 24 years old battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Due to COVID, she is unable to receive a paycheck from her employer, and due to her high-risk immune system, she is unable to apply for other work. Despite the struggles, she smiles and lives every day as a gift. These are the difficult circumstances we are seeking to make easier for many families. This is possible thanks to you!
