Children in Need, Need Your Help

When our daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor, we vowed to help others by establishing a unique foundation. One built on transparency, community, and faith to help children battling rare diseases.

The For The Love of Grace Foundation supports local families, raises awareness, and funds research. Your contribution can help other children who, like our Gianna, deserve the best chance possible to heal and live a normal happy life.

We encourage you to learn Gianna’s story, to reach out to find out how you can help our mission, and to donate what you can.

For the Love of Grace Foundation channels nearly every dollar donated directly into our mission.

Your generosity fuels important research, raises vital awareness, and provides crucial support to local families facing rare and life threatening pediatric diseases.

Federal Funding Is not Enough
And FDA Research Moves Too Slow…

4,000+

This year alone over 4,000 children will be diagnosed with a brain tumor.

< 1%

Less than 1% of federal funding goes towards pediatric brain tumor research.

40 = 2

In 40 years, only 2 treatments have been FDA-approved specifically for pediatric brain tumors.

…That’s why we need your help

What’s at Stake

Families facing rare diseases and childhood cancer often struggle with overwhelming medical bills, limited access to crucial treatments, and the emotional toll of managing a child's illness. Without support, these challenges can lead to financial ruin, compromised care, and a diminished quality of life for the entire family. However, with your help, we can change this narrative. By supporting For The Love of Grace Foundation, you're not just easing financial burdens – you're providing hope, improving access to life-changing therapies, and fostering a community of care that uplifts these families in their darkest hours. Together, we can create a world where families in need know they are not alone, where every child has access to the best possible care, and where hope thrives even in the face of the most daunting diagnoses.

"The Masciantonio family provide support so that families of children with cancer can focus on what’s most important- their children."

“I met Kristen when my daughter, Philomena, was diagnosed with DIPG, a fatal brain cancer. We quickly became friends, praying for our daughters together. Kristen introduced me to the Seven Sorrows devotion, which has helped me carry this cross. After Philomena passed in 2017, my husband and I started the Storm the Heavens Fund to support DIPG research. We partner with For the Love of Grace to assist local families in need. It is an honor to know and work with their family.”
