Hi my name is shani,
I have volnteered at KCCF ever since the foundaition was founded. For years I have seen first hand how this foundation helps children all around the wolrd that come from very difficult situations and are batteling the worst disease. They help as many children as they can and they treat them amazingly, like family. The foundation adapts the help they give to every child and family they help to best cater to their unique needs.
This foundation not only helps the children but thier volenteers as well. I was invited to a summer camp they held for recivering children and was treated exactly like everybody else. I can wholeheartdly say that the foundation has given me many amazing opprotunities I would not be able to get any other way (for example I recieved a certificate of recognition from the mayor for my volenteer work all thanks to KCCF). these expiriences have 1000% changed my life for the better.

As a volunteer, I have been privileged to see the joy of parents of children struggling financially along with the pain of the KCCF family's tremendous support for children battling a terrible and terrifying disease. The KCCF family, which is experiencing this pain with them, not only applies to them, but also contacts with various medical institutions, provides financial and moral support to children who do not have financial means, and because of this, their treatment is about to stop. KCCF family, thank you for this wonderful cause and I want to say that I am very happy to have known you. I consider volunteering to serve you one of the healthiest decisions of my life. Thank you KCCF family❤️❤️❤️

Mən Natiq Qan xərçəngi xəstəliyindən əziyyət çəkirdim. Həkimim sayəsində KCCF fondu ilə tanış oldum. KCCF hər bir xərçəng xəstəliyindən əziyyət çəkən uşağlara yardım edib, ümid və xoşbəxtlik bəxş edir. KCCF fondunun sahibi Elana Koenig-lə tanış oldum. O da bu xəstəliklə mübarizə aparıb və qalib gəlmişdi. Və öz iradəsi ilə bu fondu qurub başqa xərçəng xəstəsi olan uşaqlara yardım edir. Mən KCCF-lə tanış olmadan əvvəl özümü yalnız, çevrəsi məhdud və özünə qapanıq hiss edirdim. Sonra KCCF-lə tanışdım düşərgələrə getdik bir-birimizi tanıyıb, səmimi və mehriban dostlar qazandım. Artıq həyatım dəyişdi. KCCF hər bir uşağı problemlərindən uzaqlaşdırıb pozitiflik və xoşbəxtlik verir. Hər kəs KCCF-ə yardım etsin və bütün uşaqlar sağlam və xoşbəxt olsun. Zəhmət olmasa KCCF fonduna dəstək olaq.

The tumour in Sasha’s brain began to grow again, my husband passed away, we were absolutely alone. Koening Childhood Cancer Foundation helped us a lot!!! They gave us everything we needed!

I met Elana and her family while Elana was still under her own treatment. Despite the circumstances I feel so happy and privileged to have met them and be a part of how they fought adversity then and keep fighting it to support other families who are going though the same. The Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation family is a caring, loving and committed family that brings comfort, financial support, and experience to the families they care for. Couldn’t be prouder of Elana and her family. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you KCCF family. Your support for children suffering from cancer in their difficult days is a great good deed, and you show that the parents whose lives are unbearable because of their child's illness still have compassion in this world, that you are always with them, and that you experience the same pain as them. Thank you very much Elana, the young lady of the big world, with a big heart, Ms. Rena, a compassionate mother who raises such children, Mr. Scott, who is a wonderful example of a father, and the little lady Sabrina, who tries to support her with her world. It is impossible to forget your kind steps. Thank you very much.

Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation (KCCF) and Elana Koenig, 15 year old cancer survivor, founder saved my child's life!

They brought us to the United States for my daughter Daniz's cancer treatment which was not available in my country, Azerbaijan. They sponsored us for almost two years and Elana's family treated Daniz like their own child. I am a single mom of two young children and I had no idea how to help my own child.

I owe them a big one and I will never forget their help!
Donate to this amazing charity so that they can help more children.

This organization saved my daughter's live. Daniz had no treatment options in my country Azerbaijan.

Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation helped us to come to NY for hope for Daniz's treatment. Elana, 13 year old founder of KCCF and her family treat my daughter as their own child. They spend nights with Daniz in the hospital. They do not leave me alone when Daniz has surgeries (endless surgeries).

This family and organization is team of angels! God bless them Amen!

I care about what KCCF does. Children and cancer both are very sensitive matters to all people. I am impressed by Elana's story - a cancer survivor who turned her pain into an opportunity for other children and I am impressed how people / volunteers support her cause.



It is so rewarding for me to volunteer for this organization - I find peace from anything else in my life. To see the smiles on the faces of the families we help is priceless.

God bless all kids and I wish all the best for the KCCF team including myself.

My foundation proudly supports KCCF. We are thrilled with the hands-on work that this organization does. Many of our applicants are brokers in many respects, raising money, paying other organizations and people to do things and then they keep a lot of the money as administrative expenses. KCCF donates all of the money. It is a 100% volunteer organization and they do more work than most other similar organizations that seek funding from us. We really like what KCCF is doing!

KCCF is truly an outstanding organization.

I am amazed how inspiring and uplifting participating in this foundation is. The dedication is endless and selfless. Elana and her family's experience constantly reminds me that we should never give up hope. We must always try to provide a smile, particularly to those suffering. We should never take time for granted. This foundation delivers and provides a constant reminder that we need to keep going and give back. Thank you Elana, Rena and KCCF for allowing me to participate in your wonderful journey.

I am so so proud to be part of the KCCF family as a volunteer! It is extremely encouraging to see how KCCF connects with and supports children fighting a terrible, incurable disease, cancer. These kids should not have to deal with it alone and they certainly deserve all treatment options they can get to ease their pain as much as possible. Along with the much needed financial support KCCF provides for these children and their families, the emotional support, the love, and the attention that they also give to every single family is inspiring beyond belief. KCCF’s story, message, and overall work is, to sum up in a couple words, absolutely beautiful.

Those who go this way will understand one another, it has great value both for mothers and heroes both financially and emotionally. In fact, we knew KCCF foundation and Elana after our treatment ending( on Instagram). These two little heroes became friends through video calls. Elana and her foundation KCCF have been supporting Omar emotionally. Omar got very happy when he got his gift from Elana - their happiness is very important for us.

I think the love of children will save the world. They were our future. Therefore, we must support those who suffer from this disease, like our Elana. Many adults should learn from watching our child, who endured so much pain at such a young age and then tried to do something for children like him. I believe that this fund will still be very successful. And it will be a place of hope for many children. May God protect all children.
