Dearest Nancy and John Shapiro Superheroes Foundation, We cannot adequately express the gratitude that we feel for the generous support you all have given to us. When our son, Max was diagnosed last May with ALL, Nancy immediately reached out to us with the available support that we needed to know existed.  Overwhelmed and surreal was how we felt initially.  Through this foundation, our work and family communities, and many people we didn’t know until […]

I just wanted to thank you so much for the money you gave us. We were behind on all our bills and the money came at the right moment.

Your generous donations have allowed families to be with their children by helping them to pay their utility bills, put gas in their cars and put food on […]

The day I received your gift, I had had a terrible “sibling” day. My daughter’s teacher had called to let me know that Lucia had gotten upset in class and had started crying because they had to read a story about a girl who went to the doctor’s office with a severe headache. She ended up needing an MRI and then last with her mom questioning what her future would hold. Lucia has lived through […]

When your child is diagnosed with a brain tumor one of the many feelings is lack of control for what is happening. Our son Andrew was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 3 and as a result of the growing tumor in his brain, surgery, and many years of chemotherapy came many deficits including academic. We knew early on that Andrew needed a very specific academic environment but with that came the tremendous financial […]
