MATTHEW W. DEPAOLERA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

​

THE MATTHEW W. W. DEPAOLERA MEMORIAL FOUNDATION WAS CREATED TO HONOR MATT'S LIFE AND CARRY HIS LEGACY FORWARD BY SUPPORTING FAMILIES FACING RELENTLESS CANCERS. WHEN MATT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIFOCAL GLIOBLASTOMA, OUR FAMILY EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND HOW QUICKLY LIFE CAN CHANGE. WHAT BEGINS AS A DIAGNOSIS QUICKLY BECOMES MUCH MORE - TREATMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, TRAVEL, MEDICAL EXPENSES, CHILDCARE, UNCERTAINTY, AND THE DAILY WEIGHT CARRIED BY THE ENTIRE FAMILY. DURING MATT'S FIGHT, WE WERE FORTUNATE TO BE SURROUNDED BY A COMMUNITY THAT SHOWED UP WITH LOVE, GENEROSITY, AND UNWAVERING SUPPORT. THAT EXPERIENCE SHAPED THE PURPOSE OF THIS FOUNDATION. THROUGH COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING AND THE GENEROSITY OF DONORS, OUR FOUNDATION AIMS TO HELP EASE THE BURDENS FAMILIES FACE BY ASSISTING WITH ESSENTIAL NEEDS SUCH AS MEDICAL EXPENSES, TRANSPORTATION, CHILDCARE, AND OTHER COSTS THAT MAY ARISE DURING TREATMENT. OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: TO HELP FAMILIES FEEL SUPPORTED, MAINTAIN STABILITY, AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS MOST - FAMILY.
