DIRECTOR'S REPORT

A Note From Meg Lokey, Executive Director of The Payton Wright Foundation

This time of year, we naturally think of the things for which we are thankful. For us, at The Payton Wright Foundation, it’s the devoted friends, volunteers, and donors that allow us to help families when they need it most.

This month, I had the pleasure of launching a brand new program for our families, the Presents for Payton’s Angels Program. When families are dealing with a child’s brain cancer treatment, the bills pile up and most parents have to take leave from work… some have to quit their jobs completely to care for their child. These families may have to make the hard choice between paying for their household bills and buying Christmas presents for their children. This isn’t a decision they should have to make so we are going to make this Christmas extra special for them.

We need your help by signing up to buy presents for these families. Each child has made a wish list for Christmas and we want to make sure they get those things they so deserve after a long hard year dealing with cancer… And we aren’t leaving their siblings out. They made wishlists too. We aren’t going to stop until all the gifts on these lists are purchased so sign up to help us buy gifts today!

Another exciting opportunity coming up is #GivingTuesday on Tuesday, November 27th. Help us by creating your own Facebook fundraiser and they will match donations made up to a certain amount! Anyone who creates a Facebook fundraiser for The Payton Wright Foundation will receive a  custom PWF Christmas ornament. Create your Facebook fundraiser now!

Thank you for all you do to help us continue to help families.

Sincerely,

Meg Lokey
Executive Director
The Payton Wright Foundation
 
THANK YOU FROM ALLEN'S MOM
Allen, Age 15
"We are truly grateful to The Payton Wright Foundation for their generosity during this time when we needed help the most. After our 16-year-old cancerous brain tumor diagnosis, our family was truly in financial challenges due to unpaid leave, Several rounds of chemotherapy treatments, radiation, and several surgeries have been devastating.  The Payton Wright Foundation immensely minimized that stress by assisting us in paying our mortgage and assisting with other important bills to make my son’s recovery our utmost priority. We can’t thank them enough! "
Parents with children facing some of the most terrible diagnoses turn to The Payton Wright Foundation for help.

Your generosity is the gift of stability these families need while going through treatment.

With your gift, you enable The Payton Wright Foundation to pay families household bills like mortgages, car payments, utilities, and insurance so that they can keep their focus where it matters, on their child!

For this reason, we’re thankful for you, a champion to families.
 
If you have recently made a gift, thank you!

 


PRESENTS FOR PAYTON'S ANGELS PROGRAM

Christmas Presents for Children with Cancer and their Siblings

 
Make a difference this holiday season to a family that needs your help. Families that have a child with brain cancer struggle to pay their bills while caring for their children during treatment. Holiday presents come second to basic needs, but we want to help make this Christmas one to remember for all the children in these families. “Adopt” an entire family, a child gets one gift or donate for us to help purchase these presents.
 

Nov 27th, 2018 is #GivingTuesday. Facebook and PayPal are matching donations on Facebook a total of up to $7 million dollars. Mark your calendar and start your own fundraiser for The Payton Wright Foundation, or make your donation early on Nov. 27th.

Starting a #GivingTuesday Facebook Fundraiser is easy! The average fundraiser raises $100 - $500 -- It ONLY takes 3 clicks: https://fb.com/fund/paytonwrightfoundation/

Anyone who creates a Facebook fundraiser for The Payton Wright Foundation will receive a custom PWF Christmas ornament. You can help us provide critical support to families with a child battling brain cancer so they can keep their focus on their child!

The Payton Wright Foundation is 100% community funded to help families whose children have pediatric brain or spinal cord cancer. We work with hospital social workers to find families that are struggling financially because caring for a child with cancer often requires a leave from work. We pay these family's bills, like rent, utility bills, car payments, so that they can spend their time focusing on their child. If you would like to help us with this mission please donate now!
