Our story begins more than seven years ago with a daughter and a dream.  After losing her mother to Pancreatic Cancer in 2001,  Jen Brouwer wanted to honor her mother’s memory by helping families who, like her and her mother, felt many emotional and financial hardships while facing the cancer battle.

While caring for her mother. Jen learned first hand that money saved for college tuition can quickly deplete to help pay for costly cancer treatments and hospital stays. Once that money is gone, many times the dreams of attending college are lost as well.

Since she founded this organization in 2007, we have been able to give $150,000 in scholarships and help 55 students in the Toledo area!
