"The Parker Project reminded us that we are seen."
As a family of four that is normally a dual income household, it was a true struggle when I had to take an unpaid leave of absence to care for our 16 year old daughter as she battled Leukemia. The Parker Project was able to provide us with assistance that helped ease the financial burden for two months, so we could focus on what mattered most, our daughter's health. Living the life of a pediatric cancer diagnosis can be very lonely at times, but The Parker Project reminded us that we are seen.

"Back in April, our son was diagnosed with WILMS TUMOR. It took a financial toll on us. We had just closed on our first family home two weeks before his diagnosis. Facing such financial constraints, we reached out to the Parker Project for assistance. They were invaluable to our family; kind enough to assist us with our mortgage payment. We're forever grateful! To all the donors, thank you — may God continue to bless your hands and families."
