Treating families to WOW! Experiences™, giving children who will lose their Mom or Dad
to cancer a timeout to create indispensable memories as a family ... while they can.
The Need
Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation is the first resource to provide memory opportunities for children who have a Mom or Dad with late-stage, limited life expectancy cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates 571,000 Americans died of cancer this past year. Many were parents leaving behind grieving children.
The Foundation flies in the face of Late Stage Cancer with a smile...with joy...with a return to normalcy for these families. We are proud of our professional standing and the national praise and credibility we have received. And, we are the only organization of its kind nationally.
Contemplate how many children WILL lose their Mom or Dad to cancer. They are losing their security blankets – their heroes. Please consider supporting the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation.
As Jill Albert said just weeks before she passed away: "The children need a break...they just need a break...and so do the parents. This Foundation needs to continue. It must."
The WOW!
A WOW! Experience™ can be anything that allows the family unique, memorable time with each other away from their new normal of living w/ late stage cancer, away from their throes and heartache.
WOW! Experiences™ offer parents a timeout from the inevitable outlook of leaving behind their children and give the children a chance to have FUN instead of the dread they face of losing their Mom or Dad.
When Mom or Dad dies prematurely, Memories become our greatest inheritance™.
