FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION THE MISSION OF JESSICA JUNE CHILDREN'S CANCER FOUNDATION (THE ORGANIZATION") IS TO HELP CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES FIGHT CANCER BY PROVIDING EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR BASIC HUMAN NECESSITIES AND SUPPORTIVE CARE SERVICES. EXECUTING THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION REPRESENTS A "LIFELINE" FOR MANY UNDERSERVED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS DURING THEIR PEDIATRIC CANCER BATTLE. NO FAMILY SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH SUCH DISTRESS AT THIS DREADFUL TIME IN THEIR LIFE WHEN THEIR MAIN CONCERN SHOULD BE SAVING THEIR CHILD'S LIFE. A DIAGNOSIS OF CHILDHOOD CANCER CREATES AN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL CRISIS WHILE ALSO CREATING A FINANCIAL CRISIS FOR MANY FAMILIES. THE ORGANIZATION IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING EMERGENCY FINANCIAL RELIEF TO HELP FAMILIES ENDURING PEDIATRIC CANCER PAY FOR EVERYDAY NECESSITIES SUCH AS MEDICAL, UTILITIES, RENT, MORTGAGE, CAR, GAS AND GROCERIES. THIS DIRECT AND TANGIBLE TEMPORARY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE RELIEVES CRISES, PROVIDES STABILIZATION, AND ULTIMATELY GIVES CHILDREN A BETTER CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. ASSISTED FAMILIES ALSO RECEIVE SUPPORTIVE CARE SERVICES WHICH ENCOMPASS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, ADVOCACY AND RESPITE OPTIONS. AFTER A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER, A PARENT MOST OFTEN HAS TO GIVE UP THEIR JOB AND SOURCE OF INCOME TO BECOME A FULLTIME CAREGIVER. WHILE IN TREATMENT, A CHILD IS CONTINUOUSLY IN AND OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, HAS A COMPROMISED IMMUNE SYSTEM AND MOST OFTEN HAS TO BE HOME SCHOOLED. ALTHOUGH THE FINANCIAL CRISIS IS TEMPORARY, IT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION SO THAT A CHILD HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF SURVIVING. MANY OF THE CHILDREN WHO QUALIFY FOR OUR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM COME FROM A SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLD AND THE CHILD/FAMILY HAS QUALIFIED FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS SUCH AS MEDICAID AND SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. QUALIFYING FOR GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE MEANS THE INCOME LEVEL OF THESE FAMILIES FALLS BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY THRESHOLD.THE PROGRAMS BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN MAINSTREAM AND DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES FIGHTING CHILDHOOD CANCER SO THAT ALL CHILDREN CAN HAVE AN EQUAL CHANCE TO BEAT CANCER.
