SAMFund End of Year Appeal 2023
Igniting Hope for the Next 20 Years!
For two decades, the heartbeat of the SAMFund has echoed with the generosity and compassion of supporters like you. Your unwavering commitment has been the driving force behind transformative change in the lives of young adult cancer survivors. As we stand at the threshold of our 20th Anniversary Challenge, we invite you to become a beacon of hope, ensuring that the SAMFund continues to be a lifeline for the next two decades and beyond.
During my six month hospitalization, resting and getting sleep was difficult. The infections in my blood made it very rough, I suffered through hives, night shivers and painful sores in my mouth. I shed a lot of tears. The food was terrible. My social worker would sometimes visit and bring me a meal, and I would have half of it, and then save the rest for dinner. My mind was constantly rolling with the stress of the medical expenses from my treatment. I was taking 10-12 pills a day; the pills and constant bloodwork were so expensive!
2023 Appeal Goal: $100,000
The SAMFund End of Year Appeal 2023 carries a vital mission — to raise $100,000 and empower young adult cancer survivors to triumph over the challenges that linger long after treatment ends. As we embark on this crucial journey, we ask you to join us in ensuring that the flame of support continues to burn brightly for those who need it most.
