Friends Are By Your Side

Send Us Your Story

A cancer diagnosis impacts every member of the family, especially children. Friends Are By Your Side would like to provide a respite for four families every year. Every quarter, one of the families with a mom who has received hair replacement through Friends Are By Your Side will be sent on a trip to Disney World. It is so important for families - moms included - to have some fun. It can truly assist in the recovery process and gives the whole family a sense of peace and excitement. If you want to help make this happen for a worthy family please consider making a donation through our PayPal account.
