$150,000.00

Between 2024–25 we gave a total of $150,000.00 to survivors across the nation.

Over the years, we have helped countless individuals and families overcome financial, medical, and social challenges. Our success stories are a testament to the impact of our programs and the dedication of our team and supporters. However, due to the countless request of our survivors wanting to remain anonymous, and not wanting their photographs to be taken and uploaded to our site, we have respected their choices and have only advertised a few of them. We hope you understand.

We are greatly appreciative of the Spark Goods Giving Program, for all that they do for non profit organizations.

Fighters Who Felt the Difference

Every dollar donated goes directly to a cancer survivor's rent, utilities, groceries, or car payment. Here's what that means in real life.

"

The Mandatory 8 Count Cancer Foundation showed up for my family when we had nothing left. They paid our rent while I was going through chemo. I don't know what we would have done without them.

I was fighting stage 3 breast cancer and couldn't keep up with my car payment. M8 Count stepped in and made sure I didn't lose my car. They fight for you like family.

"

When my husband was diagnosed, we were terrified about losing our home. The foundation covered two months of rent. That relief let him focus on healing instead of worrying about bills.

I've donated every year since I found out about this organization. Knowing my money goes directly to a cancer survivor's rent or groceries — not overhead — means everything to me.

They came to my door. Literally knocked and handed me a check. I had been fighting colon cancer for eight months and was three weeks from eviction. These people are angels.
