UPDATE: Thank you for your incredible support and joining us in creating Stories of Hope. You have inspired us and so we are extending our campaign and increasing our goal to provide a comprehensive grant to a patient - giving them and their family the hope for cure.

Welcome to our “Stories of Hope” campaign where we honor those who make us stronger by sharing hope with others.

As the Executive Youth Leaders of the “Stories of Hope” campaign, we are beyond excited to launch this youth-led initiative this fall! We are proud to be leading participation, recruitment, team engagement, and marketing for this incredible cause.

We are excited about the incredible team we have and can’t wait to see it grow as more passionate individuals join us in making a difference.

Our goal is to unite the future of Make Me Stronger Foundation in turning hopes into reality for others. This campaign is about empowering young people to lead with kindness, creativity, and storytelling, making a life-changing difference in the lives of patients like “James” and “Sam.”

We invite you to be part of something truly transformative—help us turn stories of hope into reality.

STORIES OF HOPE

Meet "James": While "James" was preparing for transplant he lost his insurance. The loss of insurance meant "James" no longer had lodging, transportation and meal reimbursement benefits. Without this support, "James" was unable to move forward with transplant, despite the financial assistance he had from Be The Match previously. The grant funding from MMSF allowed "James" to overcome the financial barriers and move forward with his transplant. Received a potentially life saving transplant in Jan 2024.

Meet "Sam": "Sam" part of a family of 4 with 2 children, is facing issues related to caregiving and housing due to a potential transplant. "Sam's" spouse is the only available caregiver and the only working member of their family, and the family is trying to sell their home quickly before they are forced to foreclosure. For "Sam" to move forward with his transplant, his spouse would have to take time off from work to be his caregiver, leaving the family with no income. Received life saving transplant on August 2023.
