The Fort Lauderdale Bus Loop Charities
TheJessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation provides financial assistance for underprivileged children fighting cancer. As advocates, the Foundation helps raise additional funds through media partnerships to ensure ill children maintain access to basic human necessities during times of crisis. Often these children and their families fall into the Federal Poverty Level which qualifies them to receive government assistance such as Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income; however, there remains a large gap for financial need. A child diagnosed with cancer requires a full time caregiver in order to increase his/her chances for survival. Children can’t go back to school for a long period of time because of the intense treatment, and the number of days spent in the hospital. Families under these circumstances often lose income because one parent usually resigns from work. For a single parent the only source of income is often lost. As a result, the Foundation is dedicated to providing temporary financial relief to help families pay for everyday needs such as medical, utility, rent, mortgage, car, and groceries. This direct and tangible assistance for access to basic necessities becomes vital to the survival of these children while they receive cancer treatment.
The Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation is a non-profit IRS approved public charity created in memory of Jessica June Eiler Muvdi (1996 - 2003). The Foundation was started in 2004 by Sandra Muvdi shortly after the loss of her only child to cancer.
