Yesterday, you gave to the MAX and doubled your impact on children with cancer and their families — we’re 2X as grateful for your incredible generosity! One of the families you have helped is All-Star Barrett’s family, who turned to Pinky Swear Foundation for assistance with everyday expenses after Barrett was diagnosed with cancer at just 21 months old. Because of your kindness on Give to the Max Day, even more families like Barrett’s will know they are not alone and experience financial relief during the difficult childhood cancer journey. Thank you so much for maximizing your impact to make a difference for families facing childhood cancer. #GTMD2024 #HelpingKidswithCancer #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #CancerSupport #PinkySwearFoundation

Join us in keeping Mitch’s promise and providing financial support for families facing childhood cancer by making a gift now. All gifts will be MATCHED, dollar-for-dollar, up to $5,000 thanks to an anonymous donor in honor of his grandchildren, Ben and Poppy – but only until midnight! ?Please give now: https://hubs.la/Q02Z2Kwn0 #GTMD2024 #HelpingKidswithCancer #ChildhoodCancerSupport #FinancialSupport #PinkySwearFoundation #NonProfit #NonProfitMatch #MatchingGifts

While Josephine was in treatment and in and out of the hospital, her siblings stayed with their grandparents. Kimber found herself constantly planning and trying to look ahead. Patrick continued to be Josephine’s primary caregiver. When school resumed for Kimber, Patrick took time off from work. They went from two incomes to one and had to make some big sacrifices to make ends meet. That's when they turned to Pinky Swear Foundation, too. The family received an Orange Envelope to help with gas and groceries. “When things got really bad it was our buffer for protection,” Patrick said. “We were able to buy gas and groceries for a week. We thought, 'these people are complete strangers, and they are loving on our family.' We felt blessed, but a little guilty that we might be taking from others who needed it more. Then we realized that we had become a family in need. We had been used to working for what we have, and it required a big shift in mindset. It was easier because Pinky Swear is set up for this. They have no expectations in return." You can help support families like Josephine's here. https://bit.ly/4epkQ5c
