The Pinky Swear Foundation
October 20, 2015 -
The Pinky Swear Foundation removes life’s ordinary challenges from piling up on top of the battle with cancer. This is their greatest gift! Before nine-year old Mitch Chepokas died from cancer, his dad made a pinky swear promise with him to continue to help children with cancer, and their families, by providing immediate needs support and unique family programs.
Mitch withdrew money from his own savings account, placed in into envelopes and delivered it to kids on his pediatric oncology floor at the hospital. The word “envelope” exemplifies Mitch’s generosity and is a key element of the Pinky Swear Foundation’s mission. They are committed to providing support for these families, being the backbone to those who feel like they’re about to lose everything.
The foundation pays rent, mortgages, car payments and repairs. They help with utilities, groceries and gas. And, they also provide financial support related to end of life or bereavement care.
