Bright Spot Network provides young cancer survivors who are parents of small children with a safe space for individual and familial healing, recovery, and reconnection. We do this through family-focused retreats, survivor “matchmaking,” and connecting families with needed support and children’s therapy resources. We focus on young parents and guardians caring for young children at the time of diagnosis, including those diagnosed during pregnancy. We value empathy, equity and justice. Our community is built on trust and authentic connection. We hold hope and healing alongside grief and loss. Bright Spot Network serves families where a parent, or primary caregiver, of a preschool-age kid (ages 0-6 or pregnant at the time of diagnosis) has cancer. We serve people from diagnosis to survivorship, those in active treatment and living with cancer, understanding that a cancer "journey" can be long for the patient and their family.

Serve the People's Mission Statement: ""To provide for the physical, mental, emotional and mentoring needs of the poor, children, sick, needy, uneducated, oppressed and lost people. To serve people regardless of religion, ethnicity, race, or gender with love, compassion, and generosity."" Orange County, home to some of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the nation, is one of the most expensive places to live in the U.S. Despite its affluent reputation, Orange County has significant pockets of poverty where low-income households struggle to afford many basic needs, including nutrition and medical coverage. Serve the People (STP) provides food, clothing, medical care, and legal assistance, giving a hand up, and not just a hand-out. Since its founding in 2008, STP has centered its programs on the needs of the greater Santa Ana community, providing a trusted resource for people who have nowhere else to go for food and healthcare. STP's services allow low-income households to temporarily allocate their precious resources towards other household expenses - like housing and transportation

APC was founded in 2001 to provide a "medical home" to Arlington's medically underserved children, ages 0 through 18 years of age,whose family income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. A "Medical Home" offers outpatient medical care that is comprehensive, accessible, continuous, family centered, coordinated, and compassionate. It is delivered or directed by pediatricians who manage or facilitate essentially all aspects of pediatric care. The physician develops a relationship of mutual responsibility and trust with the child and family. APC care is culturally competent, and interpreters are provided for the families who speak little or no English. All of our families face the daunting challenges of poverty. Most are recent immigrants from Central and South America, but families are also from Ethiopia, Mongolia, Turkey and other countries. They are unfamiliar with US practices and standards of health care. Too often patient care has been absent or delayed, and is complicated by psycho-social concerns caused by poverty, ignorance, illiteracy, cultural barriers, poor mental health and addictions. Intensive parent/patient education and case management is needed as a high percentage of our children are at risk for abuse and neglect. APC works closely with public health, school health, child protective services and other agencies to link children and families with needed services.

Our mission is to secure an active, long-lasting, and unified support to children with cancer in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our vision that every child in Bosnia and Herzegovina has an equal and secure upbringing. We are a non-profit organization that offers services to children with cancer. The Association Heart for Kids with Cancer was founded in 2003 with a mission of creating best practices and opportunities in treating and supporting pediatric cancer patients and cancer survivors, as well as providing professional and financial help to children with cancer and their parents in Bosnia and Herzegovina. To this day, our ultimate focus has remained the same: providing help and support to pediatric cancer patients, survivors and their families. Our organization has been steadily developing ever since its inception. In 2016 we have built The Parents' House, a modern residential building with 10 apartments located on the premises of the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo, which provides housing for children undergoing therapy and their families. The Parents' House functions as a separate and independent project of our Association, and is financed solely through our fundraising activities. This has solved a major problem in our field of work, as the Clinical Center of the University in Sarajevo does not have means of accommodating parents of children undergoing therapy, most of which come from areas outside of Sarajevo. We document and closely monitor all our activities. As we are in a constant and direct contact with our clients, their feedback provides a valuable source of information for us. We use questionnaires, evaluation forms and pre/post interviews to derive quantitative and qualitative indicators in order to measure a relative success of our initiatives. All our activities are meticulously planned in advance, and monitored and evaluated along the way and retroactively. We rely extensively on short term and long term strategic planning to set the goals and objectives, and to determine the best way we use resources to tackle problems or exploit opportunities. Since all our operations are funded through fundraising activities and institutional and individual donations, we have put a special emphasis on transparency. We conduct external financial audits and employ independent consultants for all issues of any degree of sensitivity. We are proud to boldly claim that, on account of our dedication, achievements, and our meticulous approach to work, we enjoy a complete and unreserved trust of our clients, governmental institutions and the general public in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
