My daughter was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (a bone cancer) November 2020. Due to cancer her leg needed to be amputated and she needed 18 rounds of intense chemotherapy. The past 8 months we have practically lived in a hospital. Our quality mother daughter time turned into sad stressful fearful days. It has been a long road and when we came across FAM our lives instantly changed!!!! I mean from fundraising to just awareness about my daughter and other children all over the country; Fighting All Monsters does it all!! Recently the flew myself my daughter and so many other cancer families to Orlando Florida!!!! My daughter and I were able to have a stress free vacation and be us again!!! It felt / feels so good to have my daughter happy and smiling!!! They took care of us and made sure all the kids had the time of their lives. I couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity this organization has provided my whole family but specifically my daughter!! I highly recommend you check them out!! And please if your child ever is suffering from a life threatening illness reach out to FAM!!! They will guide you through and be there even when your child kicks cancers butt!!!!!!
We met FAM through Cori, an amazing woman in the midst of her own battle helping families like ours. Our 6 year old son was battling a relapse of the same cancer as Cori and she was so kind to help me understand what he may be going through with treatment. Sadly as there isn’t a great outcome for relapse Ewing sarcoma, our sweet son passed away and FAM facilitated a fundraiser that allowed us to ensure all funeral expenses were taken care of and we were able to create a future for his super sibling brother.l that we could not have even thought of with out it. We are so grateful for Fighting All Monsters.
This isn’t an organization, it’s a family. and family takes care of family. FAM has made personal connections and life changing help and experiences for so many families including mine. This organization thinks outside the box and gives in big ways you just don’t see anywhere else!
What can I say about FAM that hasn't already been said. ill start off with my daughters story.
My daughter was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma stage 4 at the age of 2. She endured complications after complication.. When we were half way through treatment, I seen a post from another little girl I been following who was looking for a tablet. I decided to make a post, seeing if anyone had a used one.
One of Alayna's followers tagged FAM in my status.
I got ahold of them & they pulled through for this little girl, a brand new tablet!! I didn't get super involved but I followed their post.
A couple months later I got a message from an amazing women also fighting cancer, Cori. She was one of the most persistent people I got the privilege of knowing.
She followed Alayna's post & knew we been having troubles getting her to do any PT or OT.
So she suggested us make a video of Alayna dancing to FAM theme song "bad boys for life- P Diddy. It was the first time I was able to actually get Alayna up & moving. She danced so much. It made me so happy. After that I got more involved, started following more stories. Alayna spent 7 months straight in the hospital. She was depressed/moody... at only 3 years old. FAM did what they do best, they spoiled her, made her smile! id get messages from Cori & the other volunteers, checking on my sweet girl & me. They became one of my biggest support systems. When my daughter passed away, FAM set up a fundraiser to help us out, with funeral expenses/medical expenses & then a year after Alayna passed I got a message from another persistent person we all love, Milk. He messaged me and told me I been invited to a mom retreat in the Florida keys, he wasn't taking no for a answer. I honestly couldn't believe it. They gave me the experience of a life time. They really out did themselves. I got to meet the most amazing people, I couldn't say thank you enough.
I highly recommend being apart of this amazing foundation. They don't just focus on the kids, but the parents as well. I am forever apart of their FAMily!
Losing a child to cancer is an unimaginable thing. While there were many wonderful foundations that offered amazing support while our daughter was in treatment finding financial support as a bereaved parent was harder. FAM came through and We will always be overwhelmed by the support. This is a FAMily.
I have seen how much Fighting All Monsters have helped families who have children battling cancer. As a mother of a warrior I know how financial hardship is a part of cancer diagnosis. Having to take care of a sick child is a full time job. Fighting All Monsters donates the proceeds directly to the families in need.
When my daughter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma I had a huge hole in my heart and needed to find something to give my energy to and to fill a void. Volunteering for FAM has been a huge blessing for me and I was able to give to an organization that is more than that, but a true FAMily. They have been amazing to my family the last couple years and I couldn’t be happier to be a part of a group of people that truly give their all in absolutely everything they do!
I became aware of FAM when my granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia. I saw how involved they became with the family and the emotional support FAM provided was priceless. I have continued following FAM through so many other families stories and I continue to be impressed by the work they do and the support they provide.
FAM is awesome! Seeing the way they help cancer families in need is beautiful.
We had 2 children in cancer treatment and FAM sent us an iPad to help ease appointments and inpatient stays. Praying for the continued growth and success of this much needed organization!!!
My son, Ryder was diagnosed with grade 4 brain cancer (Medulloblastoma) when he was 3 and although I would trade that journey for anything, FAM has shown my FAMily what good can come out of a bad situation. Through FAM, we have made life long friends and had support that we wouldn’t have otherwise! FAM is truly the epitome of what a non profit should be and I am incredibly thankful for them and what they do and stand for!
I watched an evil sickness steal the life from my baby cousin. Though the pain is unfathomable and the grief is unbearable, I’ve seen FAM make in manageable for my cousin and her family. I cannot imagine the little bits and pieces that come together to make a support team for a family in need, but I am thankful for teams like FAM.
FAM was a great support for a dear friend of mine as her child battled cancer. And FAM continues to be there as she learns to live with the grief of him being taken too soon. I am so thankful for the love this group shared with her family & others.
Our son Josh battled Osteosarcoma for almost 3 years before he gained his wings. Josh has 3 brothers. When we were unable to get Christmas gifts, FAM was there to help us out. Milk visited Josh in the hospital many times and they had a strong friendship. Milk even through a 16th birthday party for Josh in the hospital with all his FAMily. We are blessed to have Milk and FAM in our lives. We have seen FAM help FAMilies out in real time when other organizations only help you according to their rules and regulations. FAM is an amazing organization and we are blessed to have them helping our wonderful children and their families. We love you FAM and we love you Milk Tyson.
FAM is and forever will be the best non profit organization ever.
I cannot thank them enough for everything. During struggling times, milk without hesitation reached out and made sure we were taken care of. My daughter received a iPad (which is amazing on doctors visits to keep her busy), we received two Christmas grants that both helped us give our girls the best Christmas ever and took a huge weight off our shoulders. They hold strong core values, and they never limit themselves when it comes to giving. They go all out for FAMilies. We love y’all.

My daughter was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma brain cancer in 2019. FAM was there for us every step of the way, from sending my daughter amazing gifts (an off-road trike, a KITTEN, a pool, etc.) and helping us with $1,000 at the holidays to provide Christmas for my daughter and her siblings.
More than anything, I found a community of other mothers, direct support from the founder (I can call or text Milk any time and he always responds), and a FAMily with whom I could share joy in the midst all of this hardship and pain.
FAM is a standout organization with standout people, and I’m thrilled I get to be apart.
I am very proud of my wife, Lynne for her dedication to Fighting All Monsters! She volunteered for the Mom's Retreat and took our girls to Albany to celebrate a young cancer warrior, Anna...FAM has changed her life! Just like it changes the lives of so many families...thank you for all you do!
I don't have children, but I do have a sister in law with brain cancer, a close friend battling cancer, and have recently lost a cousin to cancer, so the fight hits close to home. I am a huge supporter of FAM because of all the amazing things they do for children fighting for their lives and for their families. I've met Milk Tyson and visited with him, he is definitely one of the most giving and selfless individuals I've ever been in contact with. FAM changes lives and makes a difference, there should be more people like them in this world. ♡
This charity is amazing. Bringing joy to kids who are sick. When they say no red tape they mean it. Milk will do anything for these kids. He truly has put everything into this foundation. We absolutely love it!
We got connected very early on in our childhood cancer journey with FAM when my daughter was diagnosed with ALL (leukemia) in 2019. FAM gifted our family $1,000 during the Christmas giveaway and it covered the cost of one of our medical bills and was a huge lifesaver. Immediately we became involved and felt welcomed with open arms. FAM continues to provide support and resources for families in the trenches of trauma induced by life threatening illnesses. One thing that has always been special to me is how FAM supports loved ones after a child has died from their illness. Milk Tyson and his team volunteers are relentless in their fight for funding cures and providing comfort for families going through the darkest moments of their lives. From the childcare costs coverage they provided us, to encouragement over the phone or social media, to the most amazing and luxurious moms retreat I could have ever imagined…our family has been deeply loved by FAM. We will be forever grateful for their impact on our life.
FAM is a life changing NPO so dedicated to families fighting all illnesses. They are literally changing the world of cancer one family at a time. I’ve never seen someone as dedicated as Milk Tyson and his team of volunteers.
FAM does amazing things for families going through tough times! They have fun events as well to support the families. Just knowing they are there and will help is an amazing feeling! They take care of so mutant people in so many different ways. They are an incredible organization.
FAM isn’t your typical nonprofit, they are so much more. I joined when my 3 year old was diagnosed with kidney cancer, not only did they help provide Christmas funds, they have held fundraisers for my son when we needed the help the most. Not only do they provide financial support, the connections you make with other cancer parents, the support is unmatched. Everyone at FAM is FAMily.
When my daughter was diagnosed with ALL in 2019 I felt lost and alone. I immediately started searching for groups with families who knew what we were going through so we could lean on each other. I found FAM! FAM is filled with some of the most positive and loving people I’ve ever met. They not only provide emotional support but also fund many trips, meals for those hospitalized (which they’ve done for us while my daughter was in inpatient), inspiration and a message of not being just another support group but FAMily. I recommend them to every parent I meet with a child fighting a monster so even when they’re weak they’ll know there’s an army behind them holding up a shield and steadying their sword. We are Fighting All Monsters.
I first became aware of FAM through Facebook. Someone’s daughter was fighting cancer and couldn’t say enough about it. I had to check it out and since then I try to donate whenever possible because of the amazing work they do. I have seen them go above and beyond for these kids and their families. They work tirelessly to make things happen. They are the calm in the storm for these kids and families.
FAM has played a large roll in my daughter’s journey. They have been provided a shopping spree for our girl and started fundraisers to help during these difficult times. FAM gave me the opportunity to spend a week with other warrior moms on an amazing fully funded getaway. It was a trio of a lifetime.
FAM is a amazing nonprofit! I was introduced to FAM after finding out my son had a rare genetic disorder along with a lot of other medical conditions. They accepted us with open arms. They truly do help with anyone fighting a monster weather it is cancer or a life threatening illness. I have seen every year that they go above and beyond to help the families and children.
I personally am an outside mom watching all fan does for the FAMilies who have sadly had to endour childhood cancer. My friend lost her son and fam donated cash to help her get through a very rough Christmas. I love all fam does.
After my daughter's cancer diagnosis, we received help from *A LOT* of non-profit organizations. Most of these organizations provide a little assistance then go on to help others, disappearing from your life. Not so with FAM! FAM creates a community of support which lasts while simultaneously cutting through a lot of the red tape which burdens other orgs. My daughter received an iPad from them our first Christmas with them and we love taking part in their events. Milk Tyson, FAM's fearless leader, is untiring and insatiable when it comes to helping families in need.
I was first introduced to FAM while my son was in the middle of a BMT. They quickly became FAMily. They have helped us out immensely during times of great need. We have watched them do the same thing for countless other families. They are way more than just talk, they make things happen. It is apparent that they genuinely care.
FAM is near and dear to my heart. They played a huge part in my daughter life, death and supporting me as a bereaved parent. They provided not only financial support during her treatment, and to help her fulfill her bucket list. But they also provided me a family of support that understands the unique challenges of a family with a cancer diagnosis. I cannot say enough about the support this organization provides
FAM is an organization that held a very successful fundraiser, when we needed it the most. While my 5 year old fought for nearly half of his little life, he recently passed in December of 2020. FAM became FAMily. Milk, Emily, and Amber have continued to follow and check in on our family. This nonprofit has encouraged me to start one, in my sons name. Attached is a picture of my sweet Brody, looking just like Milk Tyson! We are forever thankful for the support we have, and continue to have, from FAM. - Brody’s Crew
I know cancer, because I've been there. For me, seeing kids fighting cancer and incurable diseases, is heartbreaking. They shouldn't have to go through the same stuff I did. These kids, and their families, shouldn't feel alone. They shouldn't be denied help from organizations because of some red tape or politics. They need to be loved, cared for, and have some weight taken off their shoulders. While I may not have benefited directly from FAM, my friends and their son have. When they got the worst news of their life, FAM swept in, and lifted some of their burden. When my friends finally got to celebrate Christmas together with all three of their kids, far away from home and family because their son was getting treatments, FAM was there again. And when bad news again, as is often the case unfortunately, FAM was there yet again. I feel so blessed to have spent a day with Milk, Mark, and Liz to help Malcolm and friends not feel so alone on their journey. FAM is a FAMily and my family grew that day. And as I see FAM work tirelessly, I am constantly amazed at how big FAM is growing. They aren't turning people away, they are welcoming more FAMilies into the mix. They are go above and beyond, and I love them for it.
someone posted about FAM in another group. I watched what they were doing, it was real time putting donations to work by making kids smile and forget, if even for a moment. We were recipients of one of their Christmas grants and were so appreciative, we were struggling that year. We recently learned my son was told he had 3-6 months left. Milk jumped on a plane and set up a fantastic weekend for him. He got videos from and facetimed with some of his favorite wrestlers. It was AWESOME. I'm forever grateful to FAM, Milk and all the volunteers.
Since my son was diagnosed with Leukemia, I have been looking to donate to a charity whose focus is to help families with the basics like medical care support, food, lodging, etc….These expenses are not as glamorous as trips or parties, but a helping hand in the greatest time of need for these parents that are already devastated by their child’s diagnosis is literally everything. FAM is more than a charity, they are FAMily.
FAM helped my daughter's family and son while battling cancer by giving financial and emotional support. We are very thankful for you.
There are not enough words to describe what an amazing organization FAM is! I've been part of FAM for over 2 years now, since my granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia. The members and volunteers are absolutely amazing. The love and support shown for each member of the FAMily is such a blessing to see. From providing iPads for kids in medical treatment, to providing funds for emergencies and final expenses, to helping families during the holidays, to hosting a wonderful retreat for moms who either have lost a child or who have cared for or are caring for a child with severe medical issues, FAM reaches out to support so many who are hurting.
Milk Tyson works non-stop to do everything in his power to make time in treatment easier for kids and FAMilies who need someone to stand by them when they often feel alone. I've never seen anyone invest so much time and heart into a cause that means so much to him. He is a truly genuine man who connects with children that is very rare. We are so lucky to be able to call him a real friend!

This group is one of the most amazing things I've ever had the opportunity to be a part of!
The volunteers as well as the founder make each member feel like they truly are a part of a large FAMily. I can't count the number of times I've just been so discouraged and didn't have any idea where to turn, and there is always someone there for me.
I'm thrilled to be a part of FAM and to be able to share the wonderful blessings they bring to families in need of help with the world.
My daughter has cancer for the second time! Fighting All Monsters never turned their back on us even when she was clear of cancer. From monetary, to FAMily trips, FAMily dinners to just checking in on us to to see how we are doing. FAM goes above and beyond for their FAMilies. From Milk, Amber, to all of the volunteers, they are AMAZING!!!
FAM has been an amazing support to my family. They showed my daughter Kaylee so much love and support. Kaylee is now forever 11 but she loved FAM and now as a bereaved parent they still show our family love and support. I volunteer when I can. I hate the reason why I’m here but love being a part of my FAMily.
FAM is the most wonderful organization ever. They truly help in every way possible to help FAMilies dealing with childhood cancer and any other life-threatening diseases. Every SINGLE penny that is donated through fundraising is given back to these families in need of help during these times when they so desperately need it. FAM is a haven where parents can go to seek friendships, advice and so much moral support. I am SO humbly proud to be a part of FAM. Together we stand- Fighting All Mosnters!
FAM gave gifts, financial grants, and a sense of community during my child’s cancer treatment. It’s reassuring to know my FAMily was supported by your foundation. Thank you.
FAM is an outstanding organization! They not only make the child feel important but they truly care about the whole family.
FAM has helped bring laughter back to my daughter time and time again. Whenever she is down from relapse, treatment, or hospital stay they always find away to make it better. Milk has truly become family and Anna loves to harass and torture him.

My daughter was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma last year and from the beginning she seen all the generosity of people. And because of that she strived to give back and do good. She would be weak and sick from chemo but still managed to want to give back. Once FAM seen this they were right on with helping her. They gave her 500 dollars to be able to use to buy more gifts for her hospital and local Ronald Macdonald house. They also suprised her with a new 55 inch smart TV for her room. This allowed her to be able to have something to watch when she was house and bedroom bound because of her treatments. FAM is first and foremost all about these children and doing what needs to be done for them. They the greatest foundation I ever had the privilege of being part of.
This foundation is more than just a non profit group they are truly a family that treats everyone with love. They care about everyone in the family and want to be there for each person. I highly recommend this amazing group.
FAM has brought my family so much joy. Having a child battling cancer is incredibly lonely. FAM came along side me and connected me to an entire community of other moms facing the same monster. Milk has a genuine heart of gold and is working around the clock to get our kiddos everything they need. He makes dreams come true. He assists families with much needed fundraisers. Every single penny goes directly to them. I am so incredibly blessed to have my FAMily.
Love this foundation! Being a volunteer has changed my life tremendously! Seeing these FAMilies life being impacted in a huge way is rewarding! No child should ever have to go through these cancer treatments and no parent should have to bury their child. Fighting All Monsters bring some light to a world of darkness.
This is a wonderful nonprofit organization that has been a huge support system to a very dear friend of mine and her family. Donating to their cause not only raises money to help with overwhelming costs; they also provide support and bring families together. This support is much needed when families are on an emotional roller coaster when their child is battling cancer. I am so thankful for this organization. My friend has been able to keep her little boy’s memory alive through working with this organization and connecting with other families facing the unthinkable.
I am thankful for FAM because when my brother is sick they include me and my sisters too which most places dont. FAMily!!!
FAM is an amazing organization that supports families like mine battling medical monsters. I have been sick my entire life and this is the first organization I have found that makes me feel welcome but also includes my parents and siblings the entire time. Thank you FAM!
This is a wonderful organization that truly makes a difference in the lives of families fighting monsters. They’re a wonderful support system and I feel confident when I donate that the money I’m giving is going to where it’s needed.
FAM when a frontline ED Nurse lost her babe to cancer, not only supported her during , while and after. They continue to make a difference. Thank you FAM for making a difference in a meaningful and impactful way
I have nothing but admiration for this organization. I have witnessed them first hand lifting up and supporting FAMilies when they need it most. They are life changers and step in with ease when so many people don’t know how!
FAM has been so supportive of my family as we face medical monsters. We are so thankful to have them in our corner.
FAM was there for me and my family during my son's 18 month battle with brain cancer. The love and support that we got was beyond anything we could have imagined. From the prayers, thoughts of encouragement and all around love we got not only from the volunteers, but from complete strangers as well. Unfortunately, my son won his battle with cancer and is dancing in heaven and FAM was there to help us, especially since he passed 4 days before Christmas.
FAM is an amazing charity, with a beautiful mission of bringing quality support to families and children facing challenging circumstances. They ease the burdens of these FAMilies with not only financial support but the love and care of a real family!
FAM does amazing things!
We learned about FAM when my daughter was newly diagnosed with leukemia. FAM provided us with so much support, and encouragement. FAM brings the smiles back to these kids faces!! Thank you FAM.
FAM is the real deal. These guys are devoted to helping kids and their families overcome cancer. What's more noble than that?
Fam is an amazing organization that really puts the kids and families before everything. They take the time and energy to make sure these children feel
love and support.
Where do I even begin to say how amazing this FAMily is. From the very first day I found them they all made me and my kids feel loved. All the amazing things they do for families including no fee fundraisers, trips, bucket list, iPads and even end of life funds. They have helped me and gave me a once in a lifetime trip with 50 other amazing moms that are going through the same thing I am. That trip changed my life and I’m so blessed to call them my FAMily
FAM is an amazing organization that comes together to put smiles on the faces of children and families who need it the most. They truly are FAMily.
FAM- has given me a place to vent and read how other moms cope with these MONSTER DIAGNOSES!!!!! They go above and beyond to help even if it’s just words of encouragement—- they are a true FAMily !!! Thank you from Amilah the Dravet Warrior
Best nonprofit ever! They give money to pay bills, help with amazing support for the kids, and even help parents heal TOGETHER. I have been through so many groups throughout my daughter's treatment, but none can touch this one! ALL money goes straight to families, and most of their volunteers ARE from the families! Cannot top FAM.
FAM has been supporting our family since the beginning of my daughters journey back in 2019. Initially FAM provided emotional support by creating a safe environment to find other parents like us to talk with, share stories, and ask questions. I would have never found such an amazing support system without FAM. Throughout the last few years, FAM has also given us financial support for Christmas, taken us to shopping for needs during treatment, even sent me a vacuum when mine broke! They have been with us and supporting us every step of the way.
We are FAMily.
Amazing! FAM is fabulous! I am very thankful for group. Ive gotten to meet amazing people who I call friends now, the moms retreat I was blessed to go on was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better organization to call my FAMily
I had an opportunity to share FAM with my 2 daughter's recently... it was life changing for them! I took them to Albany, NY for a Parking Lot Rally for a beatiful young girl! Anna is 11 and is fighting for her life...Cancer has taken so much from her, but FAM showed up and brought light, love and hope to her and her FAMily! Iam proud to be a part of this organization... we are the CHANGE!
FAM has gone above and beyond for us. From surrounding us with emotional support while my daughter was and still is struggling with Mitochondrial disease and complications to an amazing fundraiser that helped us pay off medical expenses we have been blessed with an organization who cares about our FAMily. We are thankful for the time and love and care they have poured into our little girl.
I first heard of FAM when I moved to Kingman Az. I followed the journey of a brave little ray of sunshine Natalie. I loved the support FAM showed Natalie and many other children. Everything about them and Milk Tyson is truly heaven sent. I will continue to support as much as I can. THANK YOU FAM for bringing light, comfort and hope to so many lives.
Our family has been apart of FAM for 2 years now & what an Amazing 2 yrs it has been..Milk Tyson and FAM moms have been so supportive to my family..I recently went on FAMS 1st Moms retreat to Miami/Ismoralda Florida Keys and it was above & beyond what I expected..I took home so much love & support and new friendships..Milk has such a Huge heart for children..Milk Tyson thank you for all you do for my family and our children
FAM isn't just a foundation we are Family..
FAM is just that — a FAMily that helps people whose children have received a life threatening diagnosis. These times are so scary and this organization does so much and works so hard to help as many families as they can. If your family is facing this type of diagnosis, this is the place to be! 10/10 recommend!
recommend this incredible foundation. They help families with life threatening illnesses, a category my son falls into. From financial help, community support, no fee fundraisers, raising awareness and the incredible trips and gifts they do for kids and families (including mine) I could not be more grateful. There is no other foundation as dedicated and with as many resources as fighting all monsters. Truly a life saver.
Fighting All Monsters is amazing and has helped our family multiple times. Our daughter just finished her 2nd battle with cancer and they have been by our side through out our journey!! They will forever be apart of our family!!! It’s foundations like them that truly make a difference!!
Unfortunately by the time I was helped by FAM our son, Christian had already passed but I was considered FAMily, regardless. I was sponsored to join 50 plus other women in FAMs 1st Moms retreat at Islamorada, FL. I gotta say it brought me laughter I was missing, love from other cancer moms that I desperately was in need of to remind me that I am not alone. I was able to meet my soul sister, Ashley for the first time and feel like it wasn't our first meet up, I was honored to have met all types of women with different personalities to add to my list of friends for life. I was humbled by the experience, I knew I needed healing but I didn't know where to find it or if I'd ever but in just a short amount of time I have come to learn that FAM brings you in and let's you know you're stuck with them till the very end. Thank you FAM and thank you Milk.
FAM has cared for my son and FAMily in many ways through his cancer treatment, end of therapy, relapse, and end of life. My child endured unspeakable suffering, and FAM was with us every step of the way. Although my soulmate is no longer Earthside, I am proudly a part of Forever FAM!
FAM is an amazing organization! They have helped us during my sons treatment and after his passing with funeral costs. I just became a volunteer for FAM after going on the Moms retreat and having my heart explode with happiness and I felt I needed to follow my heart and give back. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do FAM!
This organization is wrapping children facing life threatening illnesses in a blanket of love and support. I cannot say how thankful I am to be part of this FAMily. Milk is the most kind hearted, generous and passionate person I know. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving my FAMily the way you do!!!
Fam has helped me out several times when I need cash help or other things for my child. They are just a loving group. They help your whole family and are there to hold your hand when you need it and be your biggest cheerleader too!
They have helped us two Christmas' in a row! I like how they let us families not have to jump through hoops to get direct help! They are very hands on, and unlike any charity I have ever seen. You can reach someone from FAM 24 hours a day including the founder. Highly recommend to any and all!
Fam has been absolutely amazing they are literally a light in this dark never ending tunnel of suck! Our now 14 yr old was diagnosed I’m March of 2018 with a rare incurable kidney disease by may of 2019 he was in complete renal failure and started Diyalisis.it’s now 2021 and he is still on Diyalisis his disease has caused not only renal failure but 16 other diagnosis all stemming from his kidney disease. Most charities turn us away because our sons disease doesn’t have a charity to help pay for all the things that go with it FAM never turned us away they never held every thing up with red tape they have always come thru for us a lot more goes into a child with a disease like this u may think it’s monthly dr check ins well it’s that plus gas food hotel stays prescription co pay dr co pays emergency admits and not having a dime for food. A lot of us have all these extra expenses tossed on us and a lot of us are forced to loose our jobs because our children require around the clock care and employees see parents like us as a unreliable because our children take priority not only do the help raise money for families they do something so much more important they provide a safe place filled with people who understand what your going thru so u can cry scream vent ask questions or provide a much needed laugh. They truly treat you like family!

Jayden is our 13 yr old he is autistic with serious sensory issues on march of 2018 he was diagnosed with a incurable kidney disease nepherotic syndrome with fsgs and tje collapsing varient all those big medical terms mean he has a very rare for of a rare kidney disease he went from perfect healthy kidneys to complete renal failure in 14 months this is normal with the collapsing varient we tried every medication available nothing worked and we were told up front he will definitely get cancer just a matter of when. And seeing as how most of the med used to treat this are infact cancer meds seems odd but what do i know so now hes still on diyalis wich by the way is completely brutal hoping for a transplant next year and no the transplant isnt a fix or a cure the expect the disease will come back and start attacking the new kidney before hes even out of recovery and so the cycle continues until we run out of veins to use for diyalis then we either pray they have come up with a cure or we have to send him to his guardian angels to wait for us in heaven. This disease also causes heart damage can cause them not to grow and the diyalis throws his bodys levels way off so theres a real possibility he will get what is called brittle bone disease but here we are 2020 2 years in and hes had 80 admisions and 42 surgries.
FAM-Fighting All Monsters is an amazing organization and group of people. They will and do go out of their way to help families and children with life threatening illnesses and condtions any way they can whether its emergency financial situations, checking off a last wish on their bucket list, burial of a passed child and many other ways. They helped my family in time of need and I am more than grateful to them. FAM is the best organization I truly know or have dealt with since my child getting sick over 5 years ago.
They work so hard for kids and families dealing with really tough medical issues. When my youngest son died last year from acute myeloid leukemia I was contacted immediately by FAM with a lovely contribution to help ease some of the burden caused by end-of-life care and other expenses. FAM is an amazing organization and deserves all the kudos out there for their service to those of us who are in exceedingly hard circumstances. I am so thankful for their generosity and also a proud donor as I feel very good about what FAM does.
There just aren't enough words to describe the blessing FAM has been to our family over the last 2 years. My granddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia in August 2018, and we were introduced to FAM shortly after that. They immediately reached out to us to see what they could do to offer support for our entire family, not just my granddaughter, her siblings and parents, but also myself, my husband and my autistic son who were also really struggling with the news and the changes that had to be made for all of us.
Over the last two years, we have been blessed to become true FAMily of those at this organization. Milk, Amber, and the other volunteers have loved us and supported us in so many ways and we are truly thankful and blessed to be a part of this wonderful community.
They have been so awesome. Since we found out about my sons cancer they have been so supportive throughout treatment. So uplifting!
FAM is an amazing foundation!!!!! They care way more about sick kids and their families. All money donated goes directly to help families. FAM has helped my family a few times. From receiving a $1000 grant, to buying us groceries, to being a listening ear when i need to vent. They really do care!!!!
This nonprofit organization is an amazing group of people who really cares about the kiddos and their families. I didn’t even know I was nominated for a grant and when my name was called I screamed and started crying . I just want to say that we truly appreciate you guys for everything ❤️ The Pierce Family
FAM is the true definition of family. There is no other like them. they show us so much support 5 stars is not even close to enough to show how much they mean to our family and families like ours. This is a scary journey but they have brought such an amazing community together
Fam is an amazing non profit , they help so many families cancer families like us and non cancer families from all over the world. When you help fam your not pnly helping other families that are struggling with money but you also help with friendships that last an eternity and smiles.
FAM is simply an amazing organization! I learned this in such a short time...I stumbled upon their facebook page and was drawn in by the kindness and love you immediately feel by watching stories and reading posts. We aren’t new to fighting cancer...our daughter was diagnosed in June 2013 and in May 2020 was relapsed for the 4th time. Our journey has been incredibly difficult and I am grateful to now be a part of FAM for their support and encouragement.
There isn't enough stars in the world for the amount I would give to this nonprofit group. They touched individual parents life individual children's life on a daily hourly basis making a difference every single second of every day. By far the best non-profit group I have ever been a part of her dub seen been near. If you just watch their page you will see them in action 24/7 actually helping set children all around the world and matter what it takes. Thanks for showing the rest of the world but true love and compassion really means. Rest in peace Cori and fly high are Calli out angel baby #calliestrong
FAM is such a blessing! They ease the struggles that so many families are facing and make this horrible journey much less lonely!
FAM is the best. I have never encountered an organization that actually treats you like FAMily instead of just another application to process. You are never left to navigate this journey alone. No matter where you are on your journey, FAM is right there to walk beside you.
FAM is really a FAMILY!! They have helped so many and have helped our family so much!! My baby was diagnosed with ATRT September 2020 and someone reached out to us and ever since then it’s like they are part of our family!!!
FAM has been there for us from day 1. Theres many times im not sure what I would have done without the support I have recieved and friends made! Milk is moving mountains for our babies!!! All the volunteers put countless hours in behind the scenes to make sure everything is running smoothly. I love you all!
They have been so supportive of our family! Everyone in the nonprofit has. I feel like it's a safe place to share our story.
I cannot tell you how much FAM has helped us. It’s unreal, milk is by far the greatest human I have ever met. He caring, kind, and always makes sure we are okay. We’ve had contact with a few foundations which I’d many turned us down for not being qualified enough (which our child has/had CANCER) I never understand why they put stipulation on the fact that being diagnosed within some many months before reaching out for help..(you couldn’t get help if you didn’t ask for it within 3 months of diagnosis...etc) Milk and FAM knew our struggles and has never turned us away.
We love fam and everything they stand for !
This group is amazing. My kid was diagnosed with leukemia in July. I was reached out to from someone in their group and since then they have been nothing but a blessing. They are my adopted family. And they have supported my family in ways I never thought anyone would during this time. They have encouraged us and prayed for us. And always checks on us. This Christmas was a hard one and they surprised my kid with a nice Christmas donation and it made his Christmas one of the best ever. I love FAM.
This organization is truly a family. After a child is diagnosed with cancer you feel grief, sadness, isolated, and more alone than you've ever felt. Finding support from parents fighting monsters similar to the ones your fighting is huge. The financial support given is also blessing from FAM.
FAM actually helps people at a critical time. We are those people. When our 2 year old got diagnosed with Cancer,, they were there.. FAM is a family and its forever.
This organization blessed my family and did not require us to be in active treatment. That means alot because the battle does not stop when treatment stops. Amber is phenomenal in the organization.
I recommend b/c as a single mother only a year in I have meet new friends fighting the same monsters but a different battle. We all relate ,some have been fighting and some of us need a shoulder b/c we new to this fight. FAM has made their sole purpose to help families with the contributions and donations given. They’ve been there with us during pandemic involving the kids, meeting us in states to get together for some fun and given families all types of gifts to help us while we fight for our kids to make the load a lil less heavier ❤️
FAM has been there for us. My son is a GBM Warrior. I found this organization about a year ago and have watched them change lives. Last year I was blessed by them at Christmas and I was so surprised and happy. It lifted a weight from our shoulders at exactly the right time.
Fam is an Amazing Organization!!! When you have nowhere to turn and are lost in your life while your child is fighting for cancer. FAM is there for you!
Such a great foundation! They really make you feel like you're a part of the FAMily We have met some really awesome families connnected with FAM. The volunteers and the founder work tirelessly to make things happen for kids all over the country. FAM has helped so many families including mine!
Theyre a wonderful organization helping families in need. My little had just passed from cancer and they raised money for us during an end of life fundraiser.
FAM is an amazing organization! Our children should always be priority..especially those fighting battles!
I discovered FIGHTING ALL MONSTERS when my young friend, Mandy Kelso, was diagnosed with cancer. They have been a blessing to Mandy and so many other families. This is a worthy cause!
In November of 2019 my son was diagnosed with Leukemia. It was the worst day of our lives by far. You feel alone and completely lost. I had some local cancer moms reach out to me and offer support. They mentioned FAM to me so I looked into it. I joined the Facebook page and the FAM Mom group. It truly was one of the best things I’ve done during this journey. Milk and all of his volunteers are amazing. Laura is one of the volunteers and her son has the same leukemia as mine. She has been a rock for me. Her son is about a year ahead of mine in treatment so she is able to guide me through this treatment plan. FAM loves our kids and they love our families. No questions asked they are there to support in any way they can.
FAM has been an amazing support to our family first as my daughter battled (still does) LGS but now even more as she battles anaplastic meningioma. Their moms group is full of support and Amber has been invaluable to me as I navigate her new diagnosis and spent time in shell shock deciding what to do while she assured me that whatever decision I made would be the right one.
The financial support they provide is great but knowing you have FAMily that will hold you up and push you along when you can’t go further Is the most important.
We moved to Memphis after Micah’s second treatment in Tampa. Put our house up for sale and bought one here. For us it was a no brainer because Micah’s diagnosis was extremely rare and dangerous. In fact he’s the only kid at St. Jude to have it right now. One of our favorite doctors there actually wrote the protocol. We’ve been in the hospital over 100 days all together and away from the rest of our 7 family members. My husband had to take a leave of absence and then covid hit. So no one was working and I was on a sabbatical right before we moved. There was a problem with the title company on the day of close and our closing fell through, leaving us with a few months of mortgage that we needed to catch up on. This foundation reached out to us, started an incredible fundraiser, raised ALL of the money we needed to catch up! They didn’t receive a penny and sent it early to us so we would have it on time. Their messages were so supportive. I could fell the passion, compassion and love with every interaction. We are so thankful for their support and how they helped take something off our our plates that could have been a HUGE burden. We are extremely thankful for the FAM.
I am so proud to be a part of FAM. I have made some awesome friends who have /still are going through the things I did with my son's cancer DX. We get each other- we laugh together, celebrate the good times and lean on each other through the bad. FAM is a haven, if you will, my safe place. Even though my son is in remission, I am always worrying in then back of my mind- will it come back. These other parents get this anxiety too. They understand amd dont judge. I thank God everyday that Milk started Fighting All Monsters (FAM). This organization gives back 100% to the families dealing with cancer and other life threatening diseases. I perspnallynhave been touched by FAM helping our family out last Christmas. I am FOREVER grateful and will forever be proud to be FAM!!
FAM reached out to me when I was in the hospital for 2 weeks with my little one. They asked what we needed and I really needed some money for groceries. They quickly sent me that much needed help. Many months later, it was my birthday and they took me on a shopping spree to buy my self new clothes that actually fit, and some toys for the kids and a toy for the hubby. They have always been the kindest and really are FAM to us.
FAM has done so much for me. I have met so many beautiful people and have seen first hand the work they do and the help they offer. We have helped so many FAMilies in so many wonderful ways! I volunteered over a year ago and have felt such a sense of pride working with these amazing poeple that volunteer tirelessly. They have hearts of absolute gold!
Just a year ago I had not even heard of FAM and last year my life changed forever hearing the horrible statement that my daughter has cancer. We were quickly tossed in so many directions and someone recommended FAM to me. Here we are almost a full year later and this is not just a foundation it truly is FAMily.
FAM has gifted my daughter an iPad, which is super great for appointments, hospital stays and travels. We spent FAMsgiving in Miami and met lots of fellow fighters and moms. FAM helped me with a fundraiser and I received all the money without any hassle. The founder came to our hospital room while we were stuck inpatient and helped decorate and make it as fun as possible.
We are very appreciative of FAM
FAM means so much to my family! My son (battling Leukemia) really wanted to visit his cousins in Washington state - ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE USA FOR US! FAM stepped in and made it happen. It was amazing to spend quality time with our family. To this day, I ask my son “if you could go anywhere, where would you go?” He replies “back to Washington”.
During his birthday, Milk sent him birthday presents! He can’t wait to meet FAM in person.
FAM has become part of our normal conversations. We’re blessed to be apart of this FAMily!
I could tell you about monetary support and the gifts I received during my fight with cancer, but I think what has meant most to me is the moral support and community that FAM introduced me to. I've met some incredible people that are also fighting cancer and meeting them through FAM changed my life and made me feel not so alone. The founder and volunteers have also made a big impact on me and inspire me to help others.
FAM has been a huge support for our family. From helping with bills, sending us an iPad, to providing a safe space for us to meet and chat with other families that are going through the same battle. FAM provides hope and support when you need it most.
I am having surgery to get my leg amputated, Milk at Fam flew my mom and I out, to get some last minute fun. We got to meet another family that gone through the same surgery, they inspired me to never give up. Thank you Fam for all you do for us Cancer kids. We love FAM
FAM and Milk Tyson have been such a huge blessing to our family during the hardest time of our life. We moved back from St Jude and desperately needed a washer and dryer, they saw we needed help and never hesitated to make sure my family was taken care of! They raised money for us during transplant & blessed us with a beautiful washer and dryer set...I’ve followed them for almost a year and personally know other families they have helped as well. They are always cheering the kids & families and so positive. They are a true blessing. I will be supporting them forever! We are a FAMily and so thankful for these kind hearted souls making the world a better place.
FAM definitely stands by its name. They have stood by our side while my daughter was in treatment. Still to this day they are with us. I will forever be grateful. The love and dedication FAM has for all families with a life threatening Diseases not just cancer is incredible. THANK YOU for being our #1 supporter..
In December 2018 I received a message from a fellow cancer warrior family with a phone number from FAM that I needed to contact ASAP. We did, and within a couple of hours, FAM showed up at our door with a much needed stash of gifts and toys for our kids for Christmas. We had been battling leukemia for a year and a half and funds were very tight. It was a total surprise and gave us all so much relief. I watched FAM on Facebook for almost a year after that help family after family and when we were finally at a better place in our battle I felt compelled to give back. FAM truly creates an atmosphere of ongoing support and encourages families to stick around and help others. I'm proud to be a part of this FAMily.
When my son was diagnosed with leukemia, the world stopped. We were in a dark place and felt so alone. Fighting All Monsters became our light in the dark. This organization provided a safe place for us, and I was able to connect with other families who understood what we were going through. This organization gave me a voice. They strive every day to bring awareness and support to families who are faced with the unthinkable. They provide not only emotional assistance, but financial assistance as well. There is no other organization out there like this one. It is FAMily.
Fighting All Monsters is such an amazing organization, they have supported our FAMily and they continued to help hundreds of families like mine fighting childhood cancer, medically complex/life threatening illnesses. We love FAM and everything that they do
FAM is our FAMily, they are amazing in everyway. They gifted my daughter a MacBook pro air for end of treatment and have offered fundraisers for our family in our times of need. I am apart of an active mom group with FAM and love having the support from this loving community that is Family.
We love FAM so much. They have always made sure we are taken care of and feel support from the emotional aspect to the physical aspect. FAM was the hope we needed during our darkest times and have continued to be there since. We love FAM!
FAM - Fighting All Monsters has made a tremendous impact on the lives of kids fighting cancer. It is incredible to see the wonderful adventures the kids get to have because of FAM - Fighting All Monsters. Some have been on the Ellen Degeneres Show. Some have been on jet skis for the first time, got to go to the Super Bowl, and FAM has decorated some hospital rooms. This is by far the coolest organization.
I noticed a few things seem to be off about this foundation after I joined their groups. Major red flag for me was when the founder of the foundation started stating they would would be requiring social security numbers in order to receive help. When anyone asks questions about things that seem off, they get blocked. Then volunteers go and attack the people's profiles for trying to warn people
FAM- Fighting all Monsters. It more than a nonprofit organization, they are FAMILY... I’ve seen them go above and beyond for our cancer children, Milk fight so hard for us on a daily basis. He is truly AMAZING!!! I am here to say I stand with FAM!!!
FAM is absolutely amazing!!!!! They come into families lives and make a remarkable impact!!!!! When we needed help they helped!!!! When we needed moral support they gave it!!!!! The smiles they put on my kids faces when they gifted a new Xbox one, a tv, toys, and so much more was absolutely priceless!!!! They are a extra ordinary group of people!!!!! We are FAMily!!!!! We love you guys!!!!
