My Nonprofit Reviews

I am the mother of a 23 year old synovial sarcoma patient. Olivia was diagnosed 15 months ago, two weeks before she was headed to Maryland to start her dream job of teaching first grade. This was no longer a possibility for Olivia. She has undergone chemotherapy, surgery and radiation since the initial diagnosis. In May of this year the disease metastasized to her lungs. It was during this same month that our relationship with the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults began. The leadership team contacted us through a mutual friend. They have been there for Olivia and our family since then. This organization has provided support, guidance and care since we first met. Our journey through this cancer world has hope due to the constant involvement of the Ulman Cancer Fund team.
Young adults cancer patients and their families need organizations like this to provide support and guidance. There are few who concentrate on the needs of young adults. I applaud the efforts of the Ulman people. I know they are changing lives because they have changed our lives.
