The Shirlock Foundation is committed to financially assisting the families of college students who are battling cancer. When a loved one is in the hospital, a familys expenses extend beyond the cost of treatment alone. The additional costs of travel, daycare, food, lodging, and parking, just to name a few, are many of the day-to-day expenses associated with treatment. Frequently, parents find it necessary to take time off from work to focus fully on their childs care, cutting off a valuable source of income when the family needs it most. Our goal is to help these families monetarily, so they can focus their efforts on supporting their loved one.
