TESTIMONIALS OF OUR WORK
“I know it has been a while since I have had this computer, but I wanted to circle back and make sure I said thank you. This computer has helped two warriors: one by finishing their degree and the other with starting their business. With much appreciation in my heart, I want to say thank you a thousand times!” -N
“St. Luke’s Center for Cancer Care has been the recipient of backpacks from the JC Memorial Foundation. The backpacks are distributed to newly diagnosed oncology patients. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a life-changing moment. The backpacks and items in them bring a sense of comfort and that someone truly cares. We feel fortunate to be able to provide the backpacks to our patients who are always appreciative to receive them. Thank you.” - Barb, Social Worker St. Luke’s Center for Cancer Care
“I cannot thank the JC Memorial Foundation enough for their assistance with the fertility clinic that is ensuring my son’s ability to have children and a family of his own regardless of side effects from his cancer treatment. My son was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma early in his senior year of high school. Before starting chemotherapy, it was explained that a potential side effect is infertility, a very undesirable outcome for any teenager. In the whirlwind that follows a cancer diagnosis, fertility is another ball to juggle and another bill to worry about. JC Memorial Foundation provided assistance with the fertility clinic costs. Not only did they help with the financial burden; they also helped navigate an unexpectedly difficult administrative process to receive the assistance. JC Memorial Foundation turned an otherwise daunting bill into a manageable expense with empathy and determination. Our appreciation is immeasurable.” -R, parent of patient
“I can’t describe how thankful I am to this foundation. They provided me with help when I truly needed it the most. They also gave me hope and comfort knowing I have options in my future after I beat this cancer! I had something completely out of my control happen to me and the thought of possibly not being able to have kids of mine one day breaks me. I can’t thank this amazing group of people enough for helping me keeping me dreams! – T
