Causes: Hospices, Human Services
Mission: We provide assistance to families caring for cancer patients.
Programs: We provided up to 3 months of financial assistance to individuals caring for a family member with terminal cancer and in hospice care. Funds are normally paid directly to the service providers -- utility and mortgage companies, medical and burial services, etc. In 2017, 96 people received grants, including donations of gas gift cards to 30 families with a child at loma linda children's hospital and 120 cancer care kits to oncology centers, meant for low-income patients. We provided 99 prepared meals delivered to families providing full-
time in-home care to a loved one with terminal cancer. We also conducted a social worker symposium to share information about financial resources available to families in need. Grant recipients were all unrelated to our board members, officers, donors, or their families.
