Pain Into Purpose

Cancer comes at tremendous financial cost. That’s why the Meaningful Growth Foundation takes a community-driven approach. Unlike large charities, we provide direct funds – ensuring your donations offer real-time, critical support for cancer patients’ treatment, rent, and living expenses.

Like so many, cancer has left an indelible mark on my life. Every inch of my heart is in this mission. 

Cancer took the lives of my grandfather and uncle before I was born. Starting in 2011, my incredible mom Jean navigated and triumphed over lymphoma amid extreme adversity. 

Together, we’re striving to make sure each individual and each family feels cared for and supported in their journey.

I just simply don't know how to thank you for your support and kind generosity in helping me to battle the sometimes almost seemingly insurmountable challenge I'm facing after being diagnosed with two stage IV cancers, bone and breast. I know sometimes life can take an unexpected turn out of the blue but sometimes when it happens you just don't know where to go next. And, you were there for me, thank you again. May God Bless you and your family, you have inspired me and given me confidence to go forward. Thank you for all you do on behalf of all of us that you have helped so much.
