My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband fought this disease for four years. During that time we found the most up to date and reliable information at this charity. People in the support group helped us almost daily, through all the ups and downs of his battle. Even the founder of OCF spent hours with us on the phone over many conversations, helping us understand treatment options, and when the conventional ideas did not resolve things, new ideas in immunotherapy that were only in clinical trials. He helped us get enrolled in one. For almost a year things looked bright and the disease seemed to retreat. But ultimately it was stronger than any treatment and this year we lost him. While our story is not the bright cheery post that I read here, I came to say that OCF stayed with us, helped us understand, helped us find new ideas to try, and ultimately mourned with us when it was over. They never asked for anything from us, they were just always there when we needed them, even on holidays when things turned suddenly south. I can’t donate to them, we are not financially capable, but in 2020 I will work with them to set up a fundraising walk in my hometown to raise money. To memorialize my husband, and to raise funds for those who were there for us. If you can donate, this charity is the real deal. Not some giant in size, but with a giants heart.
