The work of the Tyler Robinson Foundation is so important. Thousands of families received support when they needed it most. Thanks to TRF, they didn't have to worry about their financial situation and could concentrate on what was most important: their child. TRF also works very efficiently (85% of every donation goes directly to the families) and they care very much about the families. Not only do they support them financially, but they also support them emotionally during a very difficult time. TRF is just a great nonprofit!

The people at the Tyler Robinson Foundation are extremely passionate to help families who are suffering by having a sick child. They do so much more than just financial support... they are literally a part of the family. They laugh, cry and suffer with the family and they show so much sympathy, which is so needed to get through this hard time. Everyone should know about this amazing organization!
The Tyler Robinson Foundation has always been committed to making life easier for the families served. When a child is diagnosed with cancer the entire family is affected which is why the foundation is committed to supporting the entire family while they support their child and each other. The foundation creates bonds with families that go far beyond financial needs. The entire staff and board are dedicated to supporting these families and ensuring they know that they do not fight this battle alone.
I learned about this foundation thanks to Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons. I spoke with American friends about your health care system and support this summer during a trip and I was shocked by what I learned. It was therefore obvious for me to participate on my scale (I'm not one of the rich people on this planet) to help and support your work to help all these families and their little warriors. In France we are incredibly lucky that a large majority of medical costs are covered by the state. It is revolting that in 2023 and in a country like the USA that families must choose between the life of their child or even their own and the loss of their assets in order to pay these astronomical sums. I sincerely wholeheartedly support your action and I admire what you do. if I were American, I would certainly volunteer for TRF.thank you with all my heart for everything you do. and I take advantage of this message to once again thank you for having transmitted to Dan my message during the 2023 gala that I was going to get up very early to see the live from France, I was the happiest person in the world by hearing from my couch the few words he said on this subject, you are wonderful. With all my love and my respect. Sophie TURTOS BAZIN.
Tyler Robinson Foundation is absolutely amazing. They became family in 2020 while my daughter Antoinette was battling DIPG a terminal form for brain cancer. They helped out tremendously while she was battling cancer and even after she passed away. I still participate monthly in there sessions for grieving parents. They do so much to bring awareness to the pediatric cancer community. They definitely go above and beyond. The Smith family is so grateful to have them in our lives. Once you become a Tyler Robinson family you are always a Tyler Robinson family.
The way I’ve been able to witness first hand on how amazing this foundation can help a family in the middle of a war , a fight a battle that is unbearable bring a smile, hope, and support is honestly a Blessing, TRF has been a Godsend to so many families here in Las Vegas .. so from the bottom of my heart , thank you for everything you’ve done for my nephew #TEAMSUPERBENJI
Tyler Robinson Foundation has been simply AMAZING to our family while our sweet little girl is fighting an extremely rare and aggressive form of leukemia! From helping to off-set some of the out of pocket expenses of treatment to providing family events to take the focus of treatment and life for a bit, the staff of TRF and TRF itself are always very accessible and accommodating to their family’s!
TRF ,YOU GUYS ARE SIMPLY AMAZING! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO! YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THE MOST DIFFICULT TIMES A BIT EASIER! WE CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR THAT!!
My child was diagnosed with pediatric cancer in 2014 and again in 2019. Tyler Robinson Foundation was there when we needed the support most. My child's care was all inpatient we spent well over 400 day in and out of the hospital for treatment. Since then we are fortunately in long term follow up care but have also traveled to 3 different states for treatment and medical needs. TRF has been there every step of the way and continues to prove we are #AStrongerFamilyTogether

TRF has done incredible work over the last 10 years! They help so many families all over the world and I feel blessed to work intimately with them. I am excited to see what they do over the next 10! Families battling pediatric cancer have a hard enough time and the alleviation of every day life costs is so important!
My son was diagnosed in 2021 with Leukemia. I’m a single mother of not only my son with Leukemia but other three children. As my life shattered and the worry of not only the life of my child, but also on how was I suppose to not work to take and be with my son to treatments and pay my bills, my mortgage, & care for my other babies. TRF came into our lives and relieved a huge weight off my shoulders, they have gone above and beyond to help my family, not only have they helped with finances, but communicating with them is very easy and comfortable to talk to them. Thank you to all who donate and may God Bless you all for your generosity. We are truly blessed beyond measure. Hoping to one day meet TRF in person once we are cured. Thank you!
Amazing group of people, an excellent Charity with amazing people helping families with sick children
The TRF Foundation has tremendously been a great help to me and my family. I had no idea of the impact they would make in my daughter's care. I love this foundation for the rest of my life because they were a big part of me coming back to life after my daughter was diagnosed with her devastating brain cancer that has left her permanently disable.
A few years ago, my oldest daughter had a medical emergency that required surgery and had it not been for all of those who had volunteered and donated to the pediatric ward, her experience would have been very different. We were extremely grateful and soon after I felt led to serve a charity that helped children and their families. We were blessed to find TRF shortly after. We love that TRF helps families with living and travel expenses and TRF fills a niche that other charities don't -- they serve families who often don't meet the requirements for other financial assistance. They also have an Ambassador program that allows volunteers to easily get involved. The TRF team is the BEST there is and they champion Ambassadors to use their unique talents to fundraise and spread pediatric awareness. This organization shows so much care to the families they serve as well as to their volunteers. We are so proud to be a part of TRF!
I cannot say enough about how incredible the Tyler Robinson Foundation has been for us! We connected with TRF six years ago when my young daughter relapsed with neuroblastoma. Because of the nature of her relapse, we needed to travel across the country for her treatment. We could not have done this without the help of TRF. We always say that TRF has been an integral part of our daughter's healing journey.
TRF has made us feel like family from day one! This is an outstanding group of individuals and it has been an honor to be a part of the TRF family.
Amazing foundation with even more amazing people behind it! TRF is a light in a dark time,so thankful for them!
We’ve have been apart of the Trf family for about 2 years now and with every struggle we’ve had so much support from Trf. We haven’t had to fight alone. They’ve been the most supportive when we’ve had no where else to turn.
The Tyler Robinson Foundation has been an amazing support system for my family while my daughter battles cancer. She is currently in remission and is being able to enjoy life much more because of the events and support that TRF does for their families. We truly appreciate having them in our lives!
The Tyler Robinson Foundation is a charity I can trust. I really feel comfortable in knowing my donations will go exactly where they are supposed to go. The work this organization does hits very close to home for my family. We are proud to support this very worthy cause and will continue for many years to come.
I love this charity so much. I have seen all the good they are doing. My little brother battled cancer for almost 4 years and after seeing the Financial stress that came from his treatment. It makes me so happy that the Tyler Robinson Foundation is working to help other families not have to stress about all the financial problems that arise.
This summer I interned for the Tyler Robinson Foundation and I can tell you without a doubt that it is the best nonprofit out there. My team and board members were all incredibly kind and helpful. Each of them wants to help every child with cancer. They do all they can to help the kids with cancer that we have contact with. TRF has made an impact on hundreds of kid's lives and will continue to do this. They have far exceeded my expectations and brought so much good into this world.
My daughter was diagnosed with cancer right before her 12th birthday in the summer of 2021. The emotional roller coaster hit my family so hard. The support from everyone was so humbling and amazing. Finances were instantly a concern. How were we going to take care of everyday bills, all 3 kids expenses, and now hospital bills?
A TRF Ambassador, from my hometown, reached out and shared with me TRF and how to apply. I was familiar with TRF from school fundraisers. I looked into applying and decided to do it. When I received confirmation of receiving the grant, I immediately burst into tears. Having this help has taken some of the burden off of our plates by helping us with our monthly bills as well as gas. My daughter’s oncologist and hospital isn’t local. The travel expense grant has helped us get her to her appointments that were multiple times a week. TRF has been a tremendous blessing to my family as we navigated through pediatric cancer. Thank you to all who helped support this organization. It means so much, more than you’ll ever know.

Our son was diagnosed with Stage 4 High-Risk Neuroblastoma, in November 2017, just one month after his 6th birthday. The news was devastating to our family. I (mom) had to leave my job of over 8 years to help our son fight for his life, while my husband retained his full-time job. This reduced us to one income and we weren't sure how we could survive financially.
Our hospital social worker reached out to us about the Tyler Robinson Foundation. I submitted our application and by the grace of God we were approved. Tyler Robinson was our saving grace! With their help, we were able to survive, financially, until Matthew reached the end of his treatment. This allowed me (mom) and my husband to focus on what mattered most...getting Matthew through his intense treatment. Matthew is now NED (No Evidence of Disease) and thriving!!
Michelle, from Tyler Robinson, is beyond amazing and was always SO helpful with anything our family needed. Thank you, Tyler Robinson Foundation, from the bottom of our hearts!! We are forever grateful for everything that you have done for our family!! Your foundation is a Godsend!! I love Imagine Dragons even more than I did before I found out they are a part of this amazing foundation!! Huge, heartfelt thanks to the Tyler Robinson family, as well !!
To any potential donors: Your donations couldn't go to a better foundation!! This foundation has a heart of gold and is the saving grace for so many families like ours!! Thank you, in advance, for helping to make a huge impact in the lives of families that are battling childhood cancer!!
I have volunteered over the years and I’ve seen firsthand the great work for the Tyler Robinson foundation does. They are making a huge impact for these families on a daily basis.
TRF made the difference for our family by taking a measure of worry with emotional support. And hugely, by providing enough financial assistance to give our little cancer patient’s parents the ability to be there to care for him. They also injected gifts for a happier holiday and family time. Words are inadequate to say how much their support carried us through a very difficult time.
My family will be forever grateful for everything the TRF has done. They provided financial support to help us stay focused on our son's treatments. They made it possible for us as parents to focus on our child. I cannot say enough great things. They are family.
This foundation is absolutely amazing! They have helped so many families with their continual love and support. I love reading all the positive stories and seeing the smiles on each child’s face.
TRF has amazing outreach and will go above and beyond for their families within the program. Their mission is one that truly resonates with me so I always try to donate when I can. Even through the pandemic, TRF is doing whatever they can to meet the needs of their families and it really shows.
Without the help of the Tyler Robinson Foundation our family would be homeless & broken. The support that countless other families receive at a pinnacle point in their child’s cancer diagnosis/treatment shows the love that TRF and it’s ambassador spread unconditionally. Thank you TRF and Kelly O’Shea Morrison ❤️
TRF literally kept a roof over our head during our son’s chemotherapy treatments. Can’t safe enough good things about them. Forever grateful!!
I have had the opportunity to volunteer with TRF for the past few years. It is an amazing organization that supports the needs of families battling pediatric cancer. I have been so impressed by the team that runs the Foundation, all of the volunteers that help support it, and of course the families that TRF aims to support. It is a wonderful community doing such important things!

TRF is an amazing organization and their charter - to help families financially that have children battling cancer is of huge importance. The financial support they provide is critical to allowing families to be able to focus on what matters most - the health of their child. The team members behind the organization have so much heart and enthusiasm for helping as many families and children as they can. This is an organization that has the right people and the right mission!
I have first hand seen the Tyler Robinson change lives for the better by putting the money where they promised and doing it in a way to maximize the benefits. I have seen no kinder, concerned and helpful people than those involved in this great endeavor. I have seen this nonprofit grow organically out of love and the great need for the help provided. I have watched parents cry with gratitude and the relief in the faces of suffering children.

I have been able to first hand see the Foundation interact with the families suffering the heart wrenching devastation of pediatric cancer. Everyone involved is committed to helping to not only soften that blow but also provide significant aid to the family throughout the process. Further the involvement of a significant number of the helping hands of our youth has been an exceptional unexpected benefit of enriching our youth and providing a forum where they can assist others in a developmental step of becoming productive helpful adults.
I have volunteered at an event with Tyler Robinson Foundation and they are a great team that go out their way to help pediatric families.
The Tyler Robinson Foundation is an incredible organization that helps pay for the unseen costs of childhood cancer. Many people don't realize the catastrophic financial fallout of a childhood cancer diagnosis. Often, at least one parent needs to leave their job to care for their sick child - the harsh reality is that a pediatric cancer diagnosis often leads to drastically reduced income and expenses that skyrocket (travel costs for treatment, increased medical costs, specialized diets, childcare expenses for additional children, etc). TRF steps in and helps pay for the unseen costs of childhood cancer (i.e. rent, utilities, car repairs, etc.), so families can focus on what really matters: their child. TRF also provides emotional support/resources and engages in advocacy within the pediatric cancer community. The staff, board, and volunteers all care deeply for the families they serve. Moreover, TRF is fiscally responsible, as .85 of every dollar goes directly towards the mission. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to witness all the good that TRF does for childhood cancer families.
TRF truly puts the families first providing emotional and financial support during tragic pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatment. The families feel less alone and that they have a caring community to lean on. TRF is consistent in hosting fundraising campaigns that immediately deliver for the families like back to school drive, etc. They walk the walk and put their money where their mouth is.
TRF has been an incredible driver in my life. First, I was touched by the amazing efforts to organize this great charity by the Robinson Family and the band Imagine Dragons. The story pulled on my heartstrings for sure and the cause was something that seemed so critical, but so overlooked in today's world. Initially, I wanted to get involved to give my kids a glimpse into this world and this need, hoping that the story behind this would pull them in or at least their love for Imagine Dragons would. The answer was an absolute yes and not only did it grab their attention, but it grabbed my Mom's attention (who knew she was such a fan of the band?). Being in the travel business, we offered to help them with some trip donations to raise money and attended the TRF Gala in Las Vegas, where they auctioned them off. As we got to know the people behind the story more and more, we wanted to do more, but as often the case, we GOT so much in return!
When a coworker of mine described an issue her childhood friend was having with her daughter's cancer fight, it fit right into what the TRF mission was. Not wanting to get anyone's hopes up, we investigated and they ultimately applied for assistance and were awarded a grant, which changed the trajectory of that family's life. As part of getting to know them, my kids got an unclose and personal view of the challenges and the spirit these kids have and you could tell it was sinking in. Since our families lived about 8 hours apart, we coordinated for them to meet our family one weekend in Orlando where we attended an Imagine Dragons concert and got a day at Disney. It was a little something nice for them, but a blessing beyond measure for my family. They saw a spirit and fight in that little girl that they will never forget, coupled with smiles from that entire family that warmed our hearts.
I now have the privilege of serving on our board and being witness to the kind of love and service that can only make you want to do MORE. This idea, that became a little charity, has grown up in a relatively short period of time. The staff has as much or more passion for this cause as anyone and I am floored everyday to see the impact TRF is having on so many people.
Having witnessed this charity from the ground up, I can attest that it is the absolute best combination of heart and smart. They truly care about the families they serve, they fill an absolutely essential hole in the pediatric cancer care world, and they stretch every penny to the maximum in giving to these families in a targeted, sustainable way.
There is no other foundation out there that parallels the support we have received from TRF. They have gone above and beyond the standard grant and made us a part of an AMAZING family! They check in on us regularly to make sure we are ok, send birthday wishes and holiday surprises. We have found comradery with other families and compassion amongst friends. I love everything and everyone in this foundation!!
I don’t even know where to start with this amazing foundation. We received a second cancer diagnosis with my daughter when she was just 2 years old and our world was turned upside down all over again. It is because of them that we were able to keep a roof over our heads and food on our table and focus on giving our daughter the best care she deserves. I’m grateful for this foundation and the relationships that have come from becoming part of the TRF family. I have experienced others but none as genuine and thoughtful as The Tyler Robinson Foundation. They go out of their way to ensure our family and others are doing well and have what we need.

Words cannot even begin to express the gratitude our family has for TRF. They have been the light for us when the dark cloud of childhood cancer entered our lives. The support we've received is so much more than financial. They have become our family. They are our friends. They've connected us with other families who live the same life. Because of TRF, we are able to persist through this diagnosis. They give us strength. They remind us every single day, that we are not alone.
We have been blessed beyond measure to have found the Tyler Robinson Foundation. This organization has been instrumental in our journey and we are eternally grateful. Not only have they been with us every step of the way, but they continue to fight with us and provide support to our family. We are Family!
The Tyler Robinson Foundation is more than a foundation it is an extremely dedicated group of people committed to making a real difference in the lives of children diagnosed with cancer and their families. They take these families in and provide emotional support as well as ongoing financial support. This is not a one time occurrence- they get to know families and because of this they are able to provide long term assistance in the areas each family needs most. For many families they provide rescue. Through volunteering with the foundation I have seen first hand how the dedicated and compassionate staff, board and volunteers all work together to ensure families receive the support they need, when they need it, so that they can concentrate on the most important task, getting their child well.
In addition to offering refuge for these families the incredible staff and board of directors ensure that volunteers and donors are highly valued and are shown that their efforts are always appreciated. The foundation works tirelessly to ensure that money donated gets to families who need it and that volunteers and donors have opportunities to learn more about the families they are helping and to connect with them on a more personal level. I can not say enough about the integrity, dedication and love that is evident in everything this amazing foundation does!
Hi, we are the Juarez family our daughter is Delilah and we are apart of the TRF family and they have definitely made a difference in our lives. They’ve been here for us to help us every step of the way. They’ve helped us financially to lighten the load of stress and worry so we could focus on our daughter during and after treatment. We consider them family for the love and support they’ve shared with us on this journey. The foundation has helped us with medical costs and travel and more. We are very grateful for them and grateful to the great team of women that help and assist our families consistently!
From the Juarez family!
