Stories of Hope

"It is so rewarding to be the volunteer Family Navigator for Give Hope. I can't express the feeling in being able to help families during a time when not only finances are overwhelming, but their stress levels in dealing with a sick child are also overwhelming. 

We know that we can't solve the financial burden, or cure their child, but to give them some assistance truly gives them hope. As the mother of a cancer survivor, I have personally experienced the strain that it puts on the family. I know that my experience helps me to empathize with these families and gives me such joy in being able to 'pay it forward'."
