Positive Attitude Makes A Difference
We honor our our most recent patient Larry for September National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. At just 13, Larry is battling Leukemia and we think the words his mom shared with us sum it up perfectly....
“While our world has crumbled, we have found strength in each other and the will to keep pushing forward. Larry is only 13, but he is so strong and shows how valuable a positive attitude can be as he faces this battle.”
The Zippyfund helped with a mortgage payment to give this family a little breathing room to focus on what’s most important, Larry’s treatment.
We can all learn a thing or two from Larry and the reminder that positivity is what can make a difference in everyone’s life. Sending a whole lotta love to the Sharov family!
Cancer Doesn't Stop for a Pandemic.
Meet our latest patient Ethan!! Ethan is battling Chronic myeloid leukemia and his family who just wants to focus on him and his recovery has been significantly impacted by COVID-19. Job loss, inability to apply for unemployment benefits, etc. are just a few of what this family has had to deal with.

COVID has impacted so many, but we are committed to providing additional help to our cancer patients during this time because cancer doesn’t stop because of a pandemic.
Sending lots of love, prayers, and good vibes to Ethan and the Polk family!

Wishing Marcella and her family lots of strength, hope and love. Her radiating smile is sure to carry them through.
Sweetest Face There Ever Was!
Can you even handle this sweet face!!?!? Our latest patient Dave Alex is battling Leukemia, but doesn’t let it stop him from that beautiful smile. We helped their family with their rent payment as the financial burdens of cancer are piling up and their family is only on one income.

Abroad goes Matthew!
Meet our latest patient, Matthew! A freshman at the University of Notre Dame, we helped contribute to Matthews summer study abroad program. He is a great example of never letting cancer hold you back from experiences in life you would be doing without a cancer diagnosis.
Matthew has three siblings and wrote to us the following:
“My three siblings and I are very close in age. Cancer doesn’t just affect the one who has it, but it infiltrates the entire family.”
This hit home with us and is so true for every cancer patient and their families.
Wishing Matthew a wonderful trip and that continued spirit to never let cancer hold you down!
Adorable Arion

Hip Hip Hooray for Henry!
The Zippyfund’s latest patient, sweet Henry!
Henry is battling Leukemia and in the thick of his fight. His mom had to stop working to be there to care for him, which cut their families income in half. We were able to provide a bit of financial assistance and paid some of the family’s utility bills.
The Zippyfund is always humbled when we can help in even the smallest ways because no family deserves to think about anything other then their child during this time.
We’re praying for the Fasciano family and sending lots of hope and Zippystrong vibes 💚💜

Much love, hope and prayers to Arjun and his family! We hope to see you on the ice really soon 🏒💚💜
