For every parent who has heard the words, “Your child has cancer,” it is a moment frozen in time. In one shattering instant, life forever changes. Coping with pediatric cancer is one of the most distressing events that a family could face. They are thrown into a world of unfamiliar and uncertain terrain. When a diagnosis of cancer comes, a family’s income is greatly impacted as parents lose time at work to take their child to the hospital for treatments and to care for him/her at home – some individuals have even lost their jobs due to work hours lost. This is an unfortunate and unnecessary burden that only adds to the stress that families are already dealing with as they try to cope with their child’s illness. At The Ashley Lauren Foundation, we want to be able to ease the strain and hardship in any way that is needed.

The Ashley Lauren Foundation was incorporated by the State of NJ on July 6, 2005. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to bring hope and help to children throughout New Jersey who have been diagnosed with cancer. The Ashley Lauren Foundation was established because of a passion to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families. The goal of our foundation is to ease the journey when pediatric cancer is diagnosed by providing Direct Financial Assistance (household bills, medical bills and medications not paid through medical insurance, traveling expenses to and from hospitals and doctors’ appointments, funeral expenses, etc.); Material Assistance (food, clothing, household items); Emotional Support; Parties for the Children; Advocacy; Outings; Birthday and Holiday Gifts for the Children; our “Making Dreams Come True” Program and anything else that is needed to make their lives easier and to let each child know that they are important to us. We do not fund research but rather are “in the trenches” with these families as they cope with the daily battle of pediatric cancer.

Your thoughtful and generous donation will provide hope, help, love, and support to children with cancer and their families, making a difference in each and every one of their lives.
