Review for Mission4Maureen, South Euclid, OH, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I followed Maureen's story when she was sick with glioblastoma, the same cancer that took my mom ten months later. In her, I saw a woman with the same spirit as my mom- infectious, warm, caring. I watched as her community supported her and her family and it appears contiues to do so. This family and organization is such a positive part in the fight against brain cancers and for brain cancer families!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

helping brain cancer patients, folks who don't generally receive the attention of the mainstream cancer organizations.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Let other people know some of the strain of caring for a brain cancer person, and while everyone wants to be positive, it would be helpful for folks to know that the prognosis for most brain cancer patients isn't good.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

The positive way it has carried on Maureen's spirit with others.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

I am not local, so I have not met anyone personally from the organization.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Give support to many more brain cancer families. Brain cancer is different than other types of cancers b/c it generally affects the cognitive and physical aspects of the patient from diagnosis. The stress on the caregiver is terrible!

Ways to make it better...

It seems with their revamped website that they are really putting a face to those folks they serve while respecting their privacy.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

probably the economy, as with all non profit organizations.

One thing I'd also say is that...

you are doing a great job!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
