Supporting Families Impacted by Childhood Cancer
The cost of childhood cancer goes beyond hospital stays and chemotherapy. The Live My Dreams giving program is 10% of our mission focus. This program will help support the various struggles that come with a cancer diagnosis. We have partnered with several organizations to contribute to the success of families.
Donations to the Live My Dreams giving program will help fund many aspects of family needs outside of cancer. Family needs may include counseling services, dental needs, hearing aids, scholarships, and activities. We will continue to support the organizations that meant so much to Isabella and made an impact on her life, including OneBlood, The Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte, and Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Over the course of our foundation, ISF has donated $718,625 to support the success of families impacted by childhood cancer.
“It’s a constant juggle of the long term side effects.. the dental appointments, ENT, audiology, orthodontist, endocrinologist, oral maxillofacial surgeons, neuro opthamologist, and more. And overall there is a real sense of PTSD. We went through a war, twice, and the aftereffects will be everlasting. Hopefully over time it will improve for all of us, but I fear it will be a long time before the lingering anxiety dissipates, before the constant fear of relapse abates. It is very hard to be optimistic after everything we have gone through and everything we know about relapsed stage 4 neuroblastoma.”
