AUREE'S LEGACY
Supporting Pediatric Cancer
The Auridan Foundation is passionately uplifting low-income military children and their direct caregivers whom may be navigating socio-economic challenges associated with a pediatric cancer diagnosis. With empathy and unwavering support, we aim to provide a supportive means of financial assistance, hospital admission lodging assistance, medical transportation, prescription co-pay support, meal support, bereavement, and other supportive measures that may ease some burdens on these brave children and their direct caregivers.
Our mission retains passionate efforts to help bridge critical gaps in social determinants of health for these vulnerable families facing childhood cancer by identifying which supportive measures they may need during their most difficult times. Fostering collaborative resources amongst pediatric oncology low-income military families is a stepping stone of our mission. We continuously strive to deliver empathetically meaningful support and give back through local community based projects.
At the heart of our work is the belief that these children deserve the chance to focus on what truly matters—fighting their diagnosis—with dignity, hope, and strength. We believe that by reducing some socio-economic barriers, these children and their families may be equipped to maintain full access to their care, and a quality lifestyle.
With your donation support, together we can make a difference for this vulnerable population.

Hope In Healing: Supporting Families Through Loss
Bereavement is the period of grief and mourning that pursues the loss of a loved one. For families of children who have battled cancer, this journey is often complex, filled with emotions of sorrow, love, and remembrance. During this time, having a supportive community can make a meaningful difference in navigating the overwhelming waves of grief.
We understand that the loss of a child is an unimaginable heartbreak- one no family should have to navigate alone. Our mission encompasses compassionate bereavement support to families facing a profound loss, with a special focus on the siblings and loved ones left behind in the journey. Families often face unexpected financial hardship when faced with having to arrange a child's funeral and burial. Costs vary during this time, and may include costs for caskets, memorial ceremonies, headstones, burial plots, and beyond.
For these families, we hope that love, remembrance, and healing remain at the heart of these devastating farewells.
Bereavement support is considered based on availability of funding.
