Cancer Response Team

Fantastic non-profit with clear mission and socially-active volunteers. Have donated to them and will do it again.

Cancer Response Team was by far, the best organization we had the privilege of working with during our son’s treatment for a rare form of Sarcoma. Both my husband and I have worked in the oncology industry for our entire careers. We are familiar with the types of financial support provided by third party organizations and industry. Over the last couple of years we worked with a few in our state and CRT was by far the absolute best - conversations were human to human, there was no red tape and their care and support was genuine. When we maxed out our stipend which we used to cover our sons naturopathic supplements and support (most organizations would never support this), we received a letter from the president of the CRT, who was a father of a girl that he lost due to cancer. He knows. They know what we go through when a child is sick. I’m not going to put the other organizations down, but I was disappointed. Instead, I want to raise up the CRT as a standard for what support and care looks like a pediatric patient and there family. We will forever be in debt to you all at CRT!

Credible charity founded by a father who lost his young child to cancer and discovered that there weren't well established support systems for children with cancer who were seeking quality of life care through integrative medicine. This charity provides direct support to families of pediatric cancer patients who cannot afford integrative cancer care. I am a regular donor and have talked to many families who have benefited from the support provided by CRT. Best part of this charity is that you can see a direct impact of your dollars to the lives of children.

Tara and the Cancer Response Team have been one of the most supportive foundations we have worked with. Not only with financial support but also going out of their way to write a handwritten, heartfelt card to us when they learned of our son’s passing. They will forever be on our family’s donation list. What an amazing organization with a impactful mission!

CRT is an amazing organization helping familes dealing with pediatric cancers support their children's illness outside of the normal medical process.
There are lots of charities that provide "stuff" for the kids, but CRT is provides both the education and financial support to help families that want to take advantage of the "non-covered" treatments including functional/integrative medical support etc.
I have two daughters that have gone through cancer treatment and I wish I was aware of CRT when our oldest daughter was going through her treatment- Had we know about CRT then maybe her treatment would not have been so physically rough on her. Thanks to the CRT team.

I am a donor. Donated after reading about the good work they do and how they've helped families through tough times.

The Cancer Response Team is all heart. The board members and volunteers have the passion for helping children with cancer and their families to explore treatment options by donating funding. They have helped touch and change lives for the better. I highly recommend this incredible organization.

They helped us where other organizations wouldn’t. And made a huge difference in helping our daughter through treatment.

This is one the most meaningful causes to donate to in the world.

Children with cancer more often than not belong to young families who’ve not had a chance to even begin to save up for something like this. And anything outside the conventional medical system, no matter how well studied and proven it is, is 100% out of pocket.

These kids didn’t even have a chance to choose for themselves how to live their lives before getting cancer, and deserve every ounce of help they can get.

GOD BLESS Cancer Response Team for making this happen!!!

This is an amazing charity. They truly care about the families they help during difficult medical times. I would highly recommend you supporting them.

This nonprofit is life changing for cancer families who are experiencing the worst thing imagineable, childhood cancer. They are truly making an everlasting impact on the pediatric cancer world.

Cancer Response Team (CRT) was able to give us some sense of relief during the hardest times of our lives. They supported us through our child's cancer recovery, and helped us be able to afford things we couldn't have otherwise without their help. They are angels on earth, helping devastated families dealing with childhood cancer. There aren't enough words to describe how grateful we are for CRT's help and support!

We are deeply grateful for the Cancer Response Team and the service they provide to the cancer community. There are no other organizations that I am aware of that offer access to holistic services for families experiencing pediatric cancer. We applied and were accepted as a CRT family and we chose to hire a FABNO practitioner. It has helped our daughter thrive through frontline chemo and we are thankful to have been chosen to receive this extra of support. Thank you, Cancer Response Team.

The Cancer Response Team was so helpful in helping us provide the best possible care for our son as he went through his treatments. They were responsive and so kind.

Cancer Response Team is an amazing organization. My 4 year old son was diagnosed with Medullobastoma, a type of cancerous brain tumor, in 2021. While we were going through treatment we were introduced to a couple of organizations to help with the family needs during our difficult time. During our conversations with CRT they wanted to know more about my son and the family. They showed compassion for the situation and we could tell they truly wanted to help in anyway they could. The financial support they provided was extremely helpful for the care he needed and they made the process easy. We are so thankful there are organizations like this.

Wonderful people, wonderful charity. They are helping my family because our 4 year old son has Leukemia. They are always reaching out to see how we are and what we need.

The Cancer Response Team is an amazing foundation, supporting families who have chosen to find holistic and natural care as part of their treatment and battle against cancer! My son was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma at 7 years old and we wanted to give him every opportunity and best possible care to get him through this. We opted for chemo treatment alongside natural care which included chiropractic healthcare, homeopathic and naturopathic care, detox and nutrition therapy, mistletoe injections along with supplemental vitamins and nutrition. All of these things added up, especially the natural care and supplements that are not covered by our insurance. We are very grateful to the Cancer Response Team for assisting us financially with some of these out-of-pocket costs. Our son is now 5 months post chemo and is in complete remission!

Cancer Response team is an incredible organization. They helped our family during an extremely difficult time when our 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer. We had an intense 3 1/2 month battle before she passed away. During this time we couldn’t even think straight and Cancer Response was there with kind words, support, and helping to lift the incredible financial strain that we felt. Even after we lost our daughter, they were still in our corner cheering us on and helping us feel loved and supported. Cancer Response team is an incredible organization full of the best of the best people. We feel so grateful they came into our lives and encircled us with love and support when we so desperately needed it.

We were introduced to CRT after our 11 year old was diagnosed with pediatric ovarian germ cell cancer.

We submitted our application and received a response in just a matter of days.

They have been responsive to any questions and have fufilled their committment to assist us in paying for supplemental treatment for our daughter

This is a great non-profit that really helps parents look for alternative treatments for their children's undergoing treatment.

This is one of the most caring and thoughtful non profit organizations we donate to. We are confident where our donation goes to support families that have children with cancer. We will continue to support this organization.

CRT was there for us in our weakest moment. My daughter is alive today because they assisted us in paying for natural treatments when the hospital could do no more. Words cannot express how grateful we are for their compassion and help.

CRT has provided us with funds to pay for integrative care for our son as he battles very high risk leukemia. I appreciate that CRT didn’t make us “jump thru hoops” to get assistance, it was a simple process and I appreciate that part too. We are so grateful for CRT!

So much kindness coming from Cancer Response Team. Helpful, generous in the realm of naturopathic medicine, which as a caregiver is essential and overlooked and very expensive to even try. Without Cancer Response Team we wouldnt have been able to try these new paths of making our daughter feel better during these awful treatments we put her through

We are so thankful for how Cancer Response Team supported our family during our son’s cancer treatment. Having the flexibility to seek alternative care for his holistic wellness during a time when so much of our medical spending was just covering hospital/ insurance costs was a gift to our family. They were also very easy to work with and made our family feel seen in a time when so many of our interactions are transactional. We are so thankful.

CRT is an amazing organization. I continue to support them as a volunteer board member because they make such an incredible impact in the lives of children who are fighting cancer.

CRT helped our family with the high cost of using non-traditional treatment in conjunction with my daughter's cancer treatment protocol. Thank you CRT for being a part of giving our daughter the best cancer treatment possible by financially giving us the ability to explore other options outside of what is covered by insurance.

Cancer Response Team is a great advocate for childhood cancer research and funding. When our child was given no hope and diagnosed as terminal, they helped us as we pursued an alternative nutraceutical option and our son is still fighting and currently thriving over a year later!

Cancer is a terrible disease that takes away many young and old lives. A coworker lost his child way too soon due to cancer. Cancer response team is the best nonprofit organization for anyone who has gone through a loss or know someone who has.

This organization took my friends child and helped turn a bad sad situation and assisted to uplift and put a little sunshine to what seem like a dark dismal scenario that we thought had no light at all.

CRT helped us immensely and we love getting their yearly Christmas ornament.

Childhood cancer receives very little funding, I think in the USA it is 3.8 percent of the total research budget, and that is for all childhood cancers combined. Parent led foundations and organisations like CRT are vital to help families with children living with cancer.

CRT is amazing! Their heart to get help to all cancer families of AZ is tangible.

If I could give more stars, I would! Unbelievable organization that has proven to make a tremendous impact in our community. We LOVE Cancer Response Team!!

Everyone at the Cancer Response Team is absolutely amazing. They are literally top notch and the people that work there are just angels sent from God. No parent ever wants to hear that their child has cancer, but what CRT has done to help not only my child but my family as well, I'm forever grateful for them. They have helped so many families and I will never ever forget them. Thank you from the bottom of my families heart for EVERYTHING that you have done for us CRT. God Bless you all.

Cancer Respond Team is an amazing nonprofit organization. They helps families who are going through hardest time in their life by helping them and their children suffering with cancer find hope and alternative ways to healing. This organization is such a gift to our a community.

Absolutely LOVE this organization! If you have a child with cancer, I highly recommend reaching out to CRT. They are AMAZING!!

The Cancer Response Team is top notch. When a friend of mind son was diagnosed with cancer they were there to help, guide and support. They genuinely care about these children fighting for their lives.

These are wonderful people. A blessing to others from firsthand experience . The support and insight they give is immeasurable.

CRT is an absolute gift to the community. They do such great work and it is done with so much compassion and caring. I am delighted to see how they are growing and to know that this growth will enable many families to receive their loving support in the future.

Thank you Cancer Response Team for helping our childhood cancer community. It's been amazing to watch CRT grow and being able to provide financial assistance to so many dear families.

CRT is an amazing organization with an unparalleled amount of heart behind it. It is truly a TEAM that will never leave a member behind. Beautiful people!

Love Cancer Response Team! Amazing organization who supports children with supportive cancer care. Thank you CRT!

Thank you Cancer Response Team for the funds you provide for the children needing additional care and for helping parents through such a difficult time. Stefan found this organization in honor of his daughter who he lost to childhood cancer and he ensures her story and all of the other children that are helped from Cancer Response Team stories are shared. This volunteer organization is doing God's work. Thank you!

This group of volunteers cares for every family they help and are making a great, positive impact in the world. The founder has taken his personal experience of having lost a child with cancer and kept his promise to his daughter to help other families going through childhood cancer treatments. Thank you, Cancer Response Team for your honorable work.

An amazing group of people that truly aspire to help children and families in need!

I am very proud to help fight childhood cancer. Before my mom died on June 11, 2018 after fighting colon cancer for 15 years, I promised her that I'd continue to help fight childhood cancer so that no childhood would ever have go though what she went through. My mom was 76 when she died. Whenever I go to a mall, I make sure to stop by Auntie Anne's Pretzels to make a donation to The Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Let's continue to fight childhood cancer.

Very helpful, wonderful, and unique group of individuals who truly care.

I cant Express how great this non profit is! Excellent run organization! Please support!

Amazing non profit that helps both children and parents deal with the stress of a child suffering from cancer. Supports all with resources, both monetary and informational, and also more importantly empathy.

Amazing organization that is helping many children who are battling cancer. CRT is the first organization that comes to mind, when referring families, who has a child fighting cancer. Thank you, CRT!!

CRT is very active about promoting helping to end Childhood Cancer. They are out there doing the hard stuff. Great team!

Thank you Cancer Response Team for the amazing work you have done and continue to do to help families that have children with cancer. Although I have not gone through the experience, I am so thankful to have learned about the organization so I can help spread the word and be an active voice for the Arizona childhood cancer community.

Cancer Response Team are a dedicated and passionate nonprofit. We were introduced to CRT while our son was going through treatment, and their efforts to help others inspired our family to join their team.

From the minute I met the CRT team, I felt at home. What a great group of people who welcomed me and my family into their family. CRT is on a mission to help as many families as possible. Their tireless dedication shows. Great job CRT!

Truly amazing people!! I am really fortunate to know one of their volunteer, an amazing woman who would do everything in her pover to help others in need. It’s hartbroking to have someone close to your diagnosed with cancer, no matter how old they are, it’s very painful. It is a great help what CRT offers, guidance, information and financial aid. Keep up the amazing work you do !!!

Such caring people - I am very impressed with everyone associated with this group!

This organization is simply AMAZING!!
When your child is diagnosed with cancer and you need help, Cancer Response Team is someone to reach out too. They have provided financial assistance for many families who could not afford integrative treatments for their child. Absolutely love this organization! Thank you for helping children fight cancer.

This heart centered organization helps families deal with a child cancer diagnosis. The founder started Cancer Response Team after the loss of his own daughter to brain cancer. He created an amazing team to help others in this tragic time of need. I love reading stories of how they have helped provide meals for families that are dealing with extensive hospital stays or how young people in the community have helped raise money for this cause. If you've never had a medical fragile child you are among the lucky. Time itself stands still and nothing else takes priority then to help and hope that your child gets well. Cancer Response Team helps fill a void when it matters the most. Thank you for all you do. You are truly amazing.

Out of tragedy, Cancer Response Team rose from the ashes. This non-profit for community organization has been on a journey that transformed from a deep loss to empowering, supporting and educating families affected by cancer. CRT honors the community they serve by giving each child a voice. It has been such an honor to contribute to their cause. Thank you for what you do.

Absolutely love Cancer Response Team! Being able to make an impact in my community for children fighting cancer, is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

It is amazing when you can take pain and create beauty. To lose a child is something no-one should have to endure. Stefan has created CRT in honor of his daughter Ashley. He has vowed to help other families with children diagnosed with cancer seeking alternative treatments. I hope to help him on this mission. Every child and their family deserve the best options available. CRT helps educate and provide resources for these families .

Understanding what this non profit wants to do just warms my heart! They want to educate families on alternative cancer treatments, help them assimilate the information and then help families pay for it! When I was at a fundraiser for Cancer Response Team there was a young lady suffering through the consequences of cancer and its treatment. She, and her family,looked to CRT for assistance. I saw hope and joy that day! Heart warming!

CRT is an incredible organization that not only seeks to provide education for those dealing with cancer, but they also come along side these families and enter into the fight against cancer with them. Their level of compassion and tireless dedication is truly remarkable.

Awesome people aspiring to help others! Great organization!

Out of pain by losing his young daughter through brain cancer, Stefan Moore and the CRT team show the heart of God. Holding each other's hands through difficult times and by demonstrating that love in action shows personal character. We are all part of a large family that cares!

To have personally watched this organization grow from its inception has been truly amazing. The founder and President is a wonderful father that has successfully channeled a great deal of his grief after personally losing his daughter to cancer into an amazing organization focused on helping families in situations similar to his. The organization has made significant strides and it is wonderful to see them making a direct impact on families battling cancer by financially supporting their pursuit of alternative treatment options. All families deserve the right to varied options and opinions on how to battle this terrible disease and for CRT to be financially making that possible for people that wouldn't otherwise have that opportunity is just awesome and humbling. We all get asked to contribute to various charities and CRT is one that I personally financially support as I believe wholeheartedly in the mission and purpose of the organization. Congratulations to Stefan and the CRT board members for continuing to make something WONDERFUL happen for other families.

This organization was started by an incredible man who lost his beautiful daughter to cancer.
His goal is to inform the public that there are effective, alternative treatment options available and to financially assist the families who chose to purse these alternative options, that are not covered by regular insurance.
The passion behind this organization is beautiful, and it is an honor and a privilege to see how CRT is helping families and changing lives every day.
This is only the beginning for CRT, and I can't wait to see what the future holds, and how many people's lives will be positively impacted because of it!

CRT is an amazing organization that truly underatands the devastation cancer causes. They have outstanding insight into the care that genuinely helps those fighting. Those who work with CRT will feel true love and support.

This organization is amazing! They help children who have been diagnosed with cancer by helping them financially. I have been to all of their fundraisers and will go to their future ones as well.

I have had family and friends that have been affected by cancer. This organization always has great articles the help better the lives of those affected by this terrible disease.

The work that's being done over at Cancer Response Team is amazing. Providing families with the financial assistance to explore treatment options is a big step towards wining the war on cancer.

Why we started Cancer Response Team.

As a father, I have experienced the heartbreaking agony of losing my precious 13 year old daughter from brain cancer. When my daughter, Ashley, was first diagnosed with cancer, we were shocked, felt helpless and like most parents we trusted her doctors to cure her disease. My daughter went through the traditional chemotherapy and radiation treatments that were recommended by medical doctors and we followed the standard protocol that cancer patients are given. Naturally we were new to this and knew nothing about cancer cures and simply trusted a “one sided” opinion about a cure. While our daughter went through countless treatments, we found out that so many other successful alternative treatments are available. By the time we were made aware of other alternatives, it was too late for our daughter to pursue these treatments since chemotherapy and radiation had already done much harm to her body and the cancer had spread. This meant that for us, successful alternative treatment were not an option anymore. As a father, I was upset, for not being made aware of other options we could have chosen for our daughter. I want to keep the promise that I made to Ashley that I would start a nonprofit organization to help children that have been diagnosed with cancer and to inform the public on proven successful alternative treatments. I do not want any parent to see and experience the struggle and pain my daughter had to endure. This is why we have dedicated ourselves to start this great nonprofit organization “Cancer Response Team”.

We firmly believe that every individual should have choices and options when forced to face the crisis of a cancer diagnosis of a loved one. Families finding themselves in this heartbreaking situation should have the opportunity to carefully consider a variety of different alternative treatments. They should be allowed and encouraged to choose the treatment plan that best fits the family.

It’s our greatest desire to inform and update the public on many effective alternative cancer treatment options by providing resources that are available outside of the conventional treatments. Chemotherapy and radiation are not your only options! It is not at all our intent to discriminate against someone who chooses chemotherapy or radiation, however CRT pledges to provide needed financial assistance to support families when alternative therapy is chosen. It's disturbing that alternative treatment options are most often declined or not even recognized by traditional insurance policies, especially since the success rate on many alternative treatments are overwhelmingly positive.

In a nutshell, CRT is all about providing hope for families while focusing on the child’s remission. We are 100% committed to assist financially with the alternative treatment costs until we can one day celebrate the child’s remission and a new chance at a healthy and fulfilling life.
