From Liv’s Mom, Emma

On November 6th, 2019 we walked down to the lobby of the hospital without our 8 year old daughter Liv. We had spent the previous 6 weeks living there while she received end of life care. My husband put in our parking ticket and the total was almost $3,000. These are the added financial costs of childhood cancer that is not often thought about.

Our foundation is proud to offer our financial assistance program to qualifying families. If your family lives in New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania and is in need of financial assistance, please complete the form on this page. Applications must be completed in full, and will be processed in the order they are received.

From Giavanna’s Mom

“We are so lucky to have you guys, and it’s not just about the gifts and financial support. It’s about the love, care, and support you continue to pour into our family. Knowing we have Liv Like A Unicorn standing beside us during all this gives us strength and hope in ways words cannot capture.

You’ve been there for us time and time again, and we want you to know how much that means to us. The impact you’ve had on our lives goes far beyond and the reminder that we are never alone in this journey, and for that we are endlessly grateful.

From the bottom of our hearts thank you for all that you do. We truly feel like apart of the family, and we will never forget the love and kindness you have show.”
