Cooking with Impact

While the holidays will look different for all of us this year, families facing cancer may have to give them up entirely. The Cooking Live Executive Challenge will give your employees the opportunity to come together and make a tangible impact for families in need.

Family Story

Shelly is a single mother of triplets – two boys and one girl. Within two years, both of her boys were diagnosed with Leukemia. Shelly continued to work full time, while raising three 7 year olds and receiving no financial support from their father.

One of her sons is currently receiving treatment at a hospital that is 114 miles away from their home. After her children’s diagnoses, Shelly had only been able to work part-time. Now with the COVID-19 pandemic, her income has been further reduced as her hours have been cut.

The loss of income, combined with gas costs, child care, out of pocket expenses at the hospital, car maintenance costs and more have created severe financial stress for this family. 

You can be their silver lining.
