Donating to cancer organizations helps cure children’s sadness
Imagine if one of your family members was struggling with cancer. Every single day you are praying for them to get better. This is the life of many families that are dealing with this traumatic experience. Cancer is a deadly disease in which body cells constantly grow and spread to other parts of the body. You should donate to cancer foundations because it will help needy families and help kids survive.
According to the Olivia Caldwell Foundation: “250 children die every single day across the world from cancer, that is 91,250 deaths from childhood cancer every single year. In the U.S. 13,400 children are diagnosed with cancer every year. That’s 46 kids diagnosed every single day” (www.olivia caldwell foundation.org). This is one of the many foundations you can donate to, that has experience with cancer. This foundation was created after their almost 2-year-old died from cancer in 2013. This foundation is helping express how many parents have to deal with the devastating fact that their child is dealing with a crucial disease. By donating to any cancer research association, you could help save many struggling kids on their journey to get a better life.
Another foundation that is trying to help save cancer patients is Saint Jude’s Organization. Their website states “We work closely with other St. Jude doctors and researchers to find new and better ways to help families who have a higher chance than normal to get cancer” (Saint Jude’s). This organization spends countless hours working on finding a cure. St. Jude’s is a well-rounded foundation that will benefit children in need. If you decide to donate to Saint Jude’s it will help them buy materials to test and find a cure to save many children.

Also, donating can help support a family member or a loved one. Lastly, donating can give scientists better materials to research. By donating today you could save millions of lives struggling daily.
