"I am a pediatric oncology social worker and I've worked in this field for the last 15 years. There's other foundations out there, but some foundations are very strict in terms of what they will fund and it depends on the income level of the families What some foundations fail to understand is that when the child is diagnosed with cancer, usually one of the parents has to stop working which means their income is cut in half and they need a parent to be with." That's why Robin recommends The R Giving Tree Foundation to families in need of assistance."

“There are many different organizations out there, but they help with specific things only. What I like about The R Giving Tree Foundation is that they help any cancer patient in need. The things the organization helps with are important like living expenses, transporation expenses and other non-medical needs. This is an organization that helps everyone.”
