This Website was originally created for Jen Collins and for her friends. As many of
you know,
Jen was diagnosed with Lung Cancer on April 23, 2004.
After 2 1/2 years of
fighting like hell, the cancer took her on September 11th, 2006. Through
The Jennifer L Collins Memorial Foundation her spirit will live forever.
She kept a diary of her fight on her update page and you are encouraged to
read her story.
You will never meet a more courageous person!

The
Jennifer L Collins Memorial Foundation was
formed with the mission to provide
financial,
spiritual and educational support to cancer patients in the Pacific
Northwest and
do so in Jen
Collins’s name. Jen fought her battle like a true champion and the support
she received through
her friends helped her to focus on her battle rather then some of the
financial burdens & challenges
that so many cancer patients don’t foresee, but are often
hit with during
their fight.
Just
some of the things we help in providing, but not limited to, through the
foundation are:
-
Travel expenses to & from doctors appointments
-
Child Care during treatments
-
Prescription & Insurance Co-pays
-
Groceries
-
Educational materials
-
Holiday gifts for cancer kids & their families
We currently support The Seattle Cancer
Care Alliance (which includes Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the
University of Washington Medical Center and Children’s Hospital) and The
Swedish Cancer Institute through their
Patient
Assistance Programs.
Hopefully, with your help we will add many more organizations in years to
come!
The
Jennifer L Collins Memorial Foundation is
funded through donations from you and people just like you and various fund
raising events, auctions.
It is you that makes what we do a success! Being a Non-Profit corporation
all your donations are
100% tax deductible.
The
Jennifer L Collins Memorial Foundation is a
federally recognized 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation
