Here For You
during this difficult season
The mission of The Shelley Foundation is to provide compassionate financial support, respite care, and a sense of community and connection to individuals and families suffering from the debilitating effects and financial hardships of cancer. Inspired by Shelley’s enduring concern for others, we are dedicated to helping those who lack adequate insurance, financial resources, or supportive loved ones. Through our events, fundraisers, and community-building efforts, we strive to create a larger, caring network that uplifts and supports those battling cancer, ensuring no one faces this journey alone.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
RESPITE CARE
COMMUNITY & CONNECTION
We understand the profound impact cancer can have on families and individuals, not only emotionally but also financially. Our mission is to offer compassionate support to those facing financial hardship due to cancer-related expenses. We provide essential assistance to help cover medical bills, transportation costs, and everyday living expenses, ensuring that those affected can focus on healing and spending precious time with their loved ones. By easing the financial burden, we strive to bring hope and stability to families during their most challenging times.
We recognize the relentless toll that cancer takes on individuals and families, which is why we offer respite care to those in need of a break from the daily grind. We are excited to announce our project to renovate a barn on our beautiful 14-acre property, transforming it into a serene refuge. This sanctuary will provide a peaceful escape for anyone affected by cancer, allowing them to rest, recharge, and find solace in a supportive environment. Our goal is to create a haven where healing and relaxation are within reach, offering a much-needed respite from the challenges of cancer.
We are dedicated to building a strong, supportive community that brings together cancer foundations, individuals, and families affected by this challenging disease. Our aim is to create a larger network of connection and understanding, offering everyone involved the opportunity to share their experiences, find support, and never feel alone. By fostering a loving and compassionate community, we hope to provide a sense of belonging and solidarity, empowering those affected by cancer to face each day with hope and strength. Together, we can make a difference and support each other through every step of the journey.
Building Strong Foundations
The Shelley Foundation was founded in response to the shocking news of Shelley William's stage four colon cancer diagnosis in February 2022. Despite initial prognoses giving her only three months to live, Shelley persevered for over two years, demonstrating incredible strength and resilience. Inspired by her journey, we established this foundation to channel our energies into raising funds and providing support for individuals and families navigating the hardships of cancer. Through our collective efforts, we aim to bring hope, resources, and community to those who need it most, standing together in the fight against cancer.
