Jason's Friends Foundation

Jason's Friends Foundation assists families throughout Wyoming with children who suffer from childhood cancer or brain or spinal cord tumors.  We work with children from birth through the age of twenty.  A parent or guardian must be a Wyoming resident.

When a child is diagnosed with one of these devastating illnesses, the family's world is turned upside down.  The demands and costs of day to day living needs often become insurmountable.  We understand that families of cancer kids have an urgent need for financial assistance; therefore, there are no income restrictions.

Jason's Friends Foundation provides financial support where possible and as needed by focusing on each family's individual situation.  We assist with non-medical expenses, including travel expenses such as, fuel, lodging and meals while out of town for appointments and treatments.  Additionally, we assist with essential household bills such as, mortgage/rent, utilities, groceries and other everyday living expenses. Our assistance is provided while the child is in treatment, ill as a result of the treatment and for recheck appointments that would require the parent/guardian to miss work and lose income. We are there to spare the family the threat of a financial crisis arising in the midst of their medical emergency.

Unfortunately, not all our kids survive their battle with cancer.  Jason's Friends Foundation is also there to help the family with final expenses.  To assist the family to endure the loss of their child, we provide bereavement literature and assist with bereavement counseling. 

We do not duplicate services. If necessary, we will act as a liaison between the family and other organizations that provide additional financial assistance.

Our mission is to assist Wyoming families whose children suffer from childhood cancers and brain or spinal cord tumors by providing critical non-medical financial assistance, advocacy and encouragement.
