We'd like to thank everyone that came out for our annual fundraiser in McKeesport! Even through tough economic times your support for the Kristy Lasch Miracle Foundation went undaunted and we appreciate everyone that helped out in any way. The tradition will continue and Tom and Lynn are already planning this year's event.  Michele Gillen |

In Memory Of Kristy Leigh Lasch |
 Kristy Leigh Lasch was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was only twenty-two years old. Throughout her ordeal, she remained positive, energetic, and strong, even when faced with limited resources.
Before she died, Kristy envisioned creating an organization to help younger breast cancer patients. She knew too well how financially cumbersome the disease could become, and the unique challenges of having the disease at such a young age. The Kristy Lasch Miracle Foundation was created in her memory, and honors her dream.
After a valiant struggle, she passed away October 3, 2004, at the tender, young age of twenty-six. |
|
The Kristy Lasch Miracle Foundation is committed to providing financial assistance to women under 30 living with breast cancer. |
|
Our vision is to create a world in which our current services are no longer necessary. |
|
We could sure use some help... |

Since founding the Kristy Lasch Miracle Foundation in 2005, we have been able to help a number of young women living with breast cancer with their medical related finances. We’ve also been able to grant them the exact amount that they asked for. With the Foundation’s name getting out there more, we have been contacted by more and more young women. I’m really getting a little frightened that we will not be able to cover all of their expenses We aren’t a huge organization, yet. Right now, in the past two weeks, we have been contacted by three young women, all of whom are requesting thousands of dollars. We only do one big fundraiser a year. That’s worked for us as a Foundation in previous years but the ratio of requests to donations has become daunting. So many young women under 30 are being inflicted by this horrible disease and calling us. I’m so afraid that we won’t be able to meet their financial needs and hope that by visiting Kristy's site today, you can help by making a donation. A $20 donation covers the co-payment of one doctor's visit - a $100 contribution covers five. That's assuming these young women even have health insurance - if not, the dollar amounts become extraordinary and barely surmountable. We are here to help. Can you help us? Please... no matter what the amount, help us today by making a PayPal donation.
Thank you! |
