Cancer Survivors’ Fund: Continuing the Fight

Beating the Big C is a big accomplishment for many young people afflicted with one form or another of this disease. However, the fight continues even after one survives cancer. The main concern of parents of children with cancer is to make sure their child survives. More often than not, they spend all the money they have just for medical expenses. Once their child is in remission, there’s not much left for their education and other important things like prosthetics if needed.

The Cancer Survivors’ Fund is a nonprofit organization that aims to help families of cancer survivors by offering scholarships and prosthetic limbs to deserving individuals. Aside from financial aid, the organization also helps cancer survivors by providing them with counseling and emotional support in order for them to face the next chapter of their lives with confidence. The Cancer Survivors’ Fund also encourages those they’ve helped to volunteer with the organization and inspire other cancer survivors to continue the fight even after they’ve lived through the worst part of their lives.
