Share Your Love Program
Due to families struggling throughout the year, we will be ‘adopting’ a family every quarter. This could be a new family on the cancer journey or it could be a family that is currently going through treatment again and needs our help!
There are several ways YOU can make a difference.
Contact us now for more information or check out the Share Your Love page for the latest!
For the past 13 years, we have concentrated on what we can do to help these families with provisions that foster togetherness while they face challenging medical issues. Our goal is that these special times together will only bring families closer, and we're happy to help them with other needs that may arise, such as gifts, clothing, and food. If you would like to participate in our ‘Share Your Love' program, please contact us info@leapsoflove.org or call the office at (618) 410-7212 for more information.
