Review for Keaton Raphael Memorial, Roseville, CA, USA
KRM is a wonderful charity. In July 2007, my then 15-month-old daughter, Gabriella Grace Anderson, was diagnosed with a pediatric brain tumor and began treatment at UCSF. During her short stay, we received financial and in-kind support from KRM, including books, blankets, gas cards and some much-needed cash to assist us as my husband and then 3-year-old son had to commute a 6 hour round trip to come be with Gabby and I in the hospital. Gabby died in October 2007, but KRM continues to provide emotional support to our family. We received a condolence package which included a memory box made by Keaton's grandfather, several books on how to cope with grief and loss, and personal note from Robyn Raphael. It has meant so much more than I can explain to know that KRM exists and continues to honor children and families, by providing financial and intangible supports during the battle with cancer.

I would want more financial support from businesses, because the work that they do is so critical for families!
