About us
Why This Exists
When my 17-year-old son was diagnosed with Leukemia, I walked into a world of forms, programs, deadlines, and financial pressure I never knew existed. I had no job, no guide, and no idea where to turn. What I learned — painfully — is that help does exist, but finding it is like walking through dark hallways with no map.
This site is the map I never had. If you're facing a medical, financial, or family crisis… you don’t have to do it blind.
