AUREE'S LEGACY
Supporting Pediatric Cancer
The Auridan Foundation is passionately uplifting low-income children and their direct caregivers whom may be navigating socio-economic challenges associated with a pediatric cancer diagnosis and associated disabilities. To honor those who've served in the military, military children are given priority consideration of support. Remainder of funding programs are available to non-military families in the order applications are received. With empathy and unwavering support, we aim to provide a supportive means of financial assistance, hospital admission lodging assistance, medical transportation, prescription co-pay support, meal support, bereavement, and other supportive measures that may ease some burdens on these brave children and their direct caregivers.
Our mission retains passionate efforts to help bridge critical gaps in social determinants of health for these vulnerable families facing childhood cancer by identifying which supportive measures they may need during their most difficult times. Fostering collaborative resources amongst pediatric oncology low-income military families is a stepping stone of our mission. We continuously strive to deliver empathetically meaningful support and give back through local community based projects.
At the heart of our work is the belief that these children deserve the chance to focus on what truly matters—fighting their diagnosis—with dignity, hope, and strength. We believe that by reducing some socio-economic barriers, these children and their families may be equipped to maintain full access to their care, and a quality lifestyle.
With your donation support, together we can make a difference for this vulnerable population.

Making a Difference
Our programs offer need-based support to pediatric oncology families. From supporting housing for pediatric oncology caregivers near their child's treatment centers to ensuring nutritious meals, we aim to lighten the load for families, allowing them to focus on their child's health and well-being.
Hope In Healing: Supporting Families Through Loss
Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning that pursues the loss of a loved one. For families of children who have battled cancer, this journey is often complex, filled with emotions of sorrow, love, and remembrance. During this time, having a supportive community can make a meaningful difference in navigating the overwhelming waves of grief.
We understand that the loss of a child is an unimaginable heartbreak- one no family should have to navigate alone. Our mission encompasses compassionate bereavement support to families facing a profound loss, with a special focus on the siblings and loved ones left behind in the journey. Families often face unexpected financial hardship when faced with having to arrange a child's funeral and burial. Costs vary during this time, and may include costs for caskets, memorial ceremonies, headstones, burial plots, and beyond.
For these families, we hope that love, remembrance, and healing remain at the heart of these devastating farewells.
Bereavement support is considered based on availability of funding.

Community Involvement
Our Values
Guided by empathy and resilience, we strive to minimize the socio-economic barriers that impede these children from fighting through their conditions. Disabilities come in all shapes and sizes. When a child is diagnosed with a major life-altering chronic condition, maintaining direct socio-economic stability becomes crucial for the child, their caregivers, and their family.
We believe in working closely with the low-income community to address the practical social determinants of health challenges that come with navigating childhood cancer and associated disabilites. By fostering collaborative networks of sponsors, donors, government, and corporate organizations, we may amicably create sustainable and impactful solutions tailored to the unique needs of each family.
