This week I mailed out another $3,000 to families in need and today alone, four more emergency grant applications arrived. @ChildrensPhila @GeisingerHealth The messages we receive are heartbreaking, and sadly all too common. Families whose cars have broken down and need repairs so they can get their child to chemo. Parents struggling to cover next month’s rent. Others who simply need new clothes because their child has outgrown everything they own. We are honored to stand with these families by placing funds directly into their hands, where help is needed most. This is exactly why we choose not to fund research. Very few foundations focus on the immediate, everyday crises: rent, gas, utilities, clothes, and food. Nearly every application tells the same story: at least one parent had to leave their job after their child’s diagnosis. Many of these households are single-parent families. They are desperate for help. As long as the funds are there, no family will be turned away. I promise. Support our mission and help us keep saying yes to these families: Liv’s Stargrace Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3). Every gift goes directly to our mission.
