The "Gaby Davis Foundation" was started in memory our daughter and friend
Gabrielle Davis who lost her battle with childhood cancer in March 2007.
Her brave fight against cancer inspired us to fulfill her wish to help other
families fighting this terrible beast.
During Gaby's fight, it was necessary for one of us to leave our employment for
the course of her 44 week treatment. It was also necessary for Gaby to travel to
California for 7 weeks in order to receive specialized radiation treatment for
her cancer.
There were many costs that were not covered by insurance and we were required to
carry two households during her time away.
Our family was very fortunate to be given a great deal of support during Gaby's treatment
but not all families we met were so lucky. We met several families who were struggling
to keep afloat both financially and emotionally. Many of whom had to be away from home
and family for much longer periods of time than we did and had treatment protocols that
go on for years.
It is families like these that we would like to assist by relieving some of their
financial burden so they can spend time with their sick child instead of worrying
about how they are going to get through this fight.
We understand first hand just how precious the gift of time is with our children.
Our goal with this foundation is to offer support and assistance to children
with cancer and their families in times of financial need. Gaby wouldn't have
wanted it any other way.
Please help us to help them.
Thank you,
Guy & Tanya Davis
