When a child is diagnosed with cancer, a whole family’s world is turned upside down.

Plans and hopes for the future are sidelined as treatment schedules and appointments become the new priority. Bills start to pile up. Families wonder how they will care for their child and keep themselves afloat financially.

During a journey filled with unknowns and uncertainty, you can provide stability and security. By joining our Pinky Partner monthly giving community, you will provide the steady, year-round support that families facing childhood cancer need.

Not convinced yet?

Here are five reasons why you should become a monthly donor to Pinky Swear Foundation:

  1. Simplicity: Your monthly gift will be automatic, and you will support kids with cancer all year long without needing to fill out a donation form multiple times. You remain in full control of your giving and can easily change or cancel your support.
  2. Budget-friendly giving: Smaller monthly gifts can be easier on your wallet but add up to a big impact. Giving monthly also makes it easier to budget for tax deductions each year.
  3. Community: You will join an incredible community of over 170 generous and compassionate Pinky Partners. Together, this community provides financial support that hundreds of families can count on every year.
  4. Reliable support: A monthly gift provides critical support for families facing childhood cancer today and helps ensure that Pinky Swear can say “yes” to families who need support in the future.
  5. Lighter inbox: Monthly donors  receive fewer fundraising emails, leaving room in your inbox for more stories and celebrations of the families you are helping.

Together, our Pinky Partner community provides nearly $11,000 of financial relief every month to kids with cancer and their families. That support ensures food on the table, gas in the tank, and a roof over the heads of 40 families every single month.

You can join this incredible group and make an immediate and sustaining impact on families facing childhood cancer by making your first monthly gift today.
