SAMFund is awesome and unique in the population it serves and how it does so. Started by someone who truly understands what difficulties young adult survivors encounter, I was so excited to find out that an organization like this existed. It is hard enough to be a young adult trying to make it in the world, and then throw in managing severe health complications from cancer treatment and all the bills that come with it, and I was feeling extremely overwhelmed and helpless. SAMFund helped alleviate some of that financial burden, improving my quality of life and allowing me to focus on important long-term goals in the process.

More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the fact that I don't feel helpless and alone anymore - gave me a sense of empowerment.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
knowledgeable and friendly!
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
change and improve the lives of thousands of young adult cacner survivors.

N/A
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
sources of funding and public awareness so that young adult cancer survivors know about it.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I get behind the SAMFund 100%!!!
