💫 Thank you to the Lawson Charitable Foundation for their generous support of Expect Miracles Foundation [EMF]’s SAMFund grant program!

EMF’s SAMFund provides financial assistance to young adults ages 21–39 recovering from cancer treatment, helping them navigate the unexpected financial challenges that can continue long after treatment ends.

This generous 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 will help us reach more young adult cancer survivors and/or increase the amount of assistance available to each recipient, an increasingly important need as the cost of living continues to rise.

The Lawson Charitable Foundation’s commitment to supporting individuals & families facing unexpected challenges is deeply aligned with EMF's mission. Our partnership helps bridge critical financial gaps during a particularly vulnerable time, allowing young adults to move forward with greater stability, dignity, and resilience.

Thank you, Lawson Charitable Foundation, for believing in young adults as they rebuild their lives after cancer. We're grateful for the opportunity to extend the impact of your generosity to more young adult cancer survivors. 💜
