The Samuel
Caine Memorial Cancer Foundation was created in honor of our
3 month old son, who passed away July 2006. The foundation
is a nonprofit / tax exempt organization. Our main goal is
to raise awareness of Rhabdoid and other rare
childhood cancers. Our mission is to help families to
reconnect after tragedy, like ours. There is so much focus
on the ill child that other children get lost. Then when the
unmentionable does happen parents are forced to make major
decisions in a blink of eyes time. Too much going on while
the family is still trying to process the the entire scene.
Unfortunately that is when we come in and help the
families. We help them refocus on themselves and other
children that may be involved. We try to bring back as much
normalcy and peace as possible.
On August 23,
2006 we incorporated the name in the state of Missouri. So
far we are spreading our wings and stretching across
Missouri and Kansas. We are hopeful to see our wings spread
further and further.
Information is
so limited that there are hundreds of families, friends and
individuals who cry for help, these people are so scattered
throughout the world that their cries come across as
whispers. We are hopeful that these cries one day will be
one voice heard loud and strong.
Sammy's blood,
liver and bone marrow cells are participating in Rhabdoid
cancer research in hopes that his cells may help find some
answers. It may be too late for Sammy but not for others.
With further support we will be able to achieve our goals
and accomplish our mission. Therefore, we are asking people
to assist Sammy in helping others with rare childhood
cancers. We know that there is power in numbers, so please
join us in spreading our wings.
