Our Mission

Born from our experience, the For The Love of Grace Foundation is dedicated to supporting families facing the challenges of childhood cancer and rare diseases. We understand firsthand the emotional, financial, and practical burdens these families bear, and we're committed to easing their journey in tangible ways.

What We Do

Provide financial assistance for medical treatments, home modifications, and essential needs:

  1. Support therapies not covered by insurance, such as art classes and hippotherapy

  2. Offer emotional and spiritual support through prayer groups and family rosaries

  3. Contribute to brain tumor research at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP)

Our Approach

We believe in the power of direct impact. Working closely with social workers at CHOP, we ensure that nearly 100% of donations go directly to helping children and their families. Our foundation is run by a small, dedicated team – Kristen, her father-in-law, and a neighbor who assists with accounting – allowing us to maintain our focus on those we serve.
