“Monika”

The Leigh Sakoda Foundation celebrated Father’s Day by making a very important grant to a 19 year old woman who was diagnosed with relapsed Ewing’s sarcoma (a very rare bone cancer). She has been fighting the disease since age 16, which has been a 3-year long and at times very challenging road. She had to drop out of high school, but eventually went on to graduate and enrolled in college a few years ago. She unfortunately had to drop out recently to focus on her treatment, and her parents have had to take time off from work to help with her care. This grant will assist with co-payments and growing medical bills.
