About My Family Matters Foundation
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it changes everything. Families are thrust into a whirlwind of appointments, treatments, and emotional turmoil—faced with overwhelming financial burdens that insurance doesn’t cover. Life as they know it is turned upside down, forcing parents to make impossible choices between work, care, and mounting expenses.
At My Family Matters Foundation, we stand with these families during their darkest hours, ensuring they never face this fight alone. By addressing the financial strain that goes beyond medical bills—such as travel, lodging, and daily living costs—we help families focus on what truly matters: their child’s recovery and well-being.
