This page has been created to support the Foster Family and sweet little Marc Jr. who has been diagnosed with ETMR, a rare pediatric brain tumor. Those that know the Foster's will tell you that ETMR has never been up against a force as strong as Marcky. Despite all that he has already endured, he continues to shine his light and give lots of sass. 

It's time to surround Marc Sr., Amanda, Nina, Jack and, of course, Marcky Jr., with all of the love and support this community can provide as they embark on a journey to treat and fight this thing. Marcky will be undergoing chemotherapy and radiation in the weeks to come, making it so important for us to cover some basic needs for the family so they can focus on Marc's treatment and recovery.

Please feel free to share this page with friends and family that would like to support the Fosters. You may also share on social media.

Everyone loves a clean house. That's about all there is to say about that.
Why We Love This Gift:  This gift is a terrific one for anyone anywhere. Absolute convenience and versatility. (And such a gift). There are so many ways in which this gift works for everyone. In a medical crisis, for example, an orderly house is critical especially if treatment renders someone immune-compromised.

This is the perfect gift for any family or any loved one with medical needs. Send help to those you love to provide care in the form of a CVS e-gift card.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because everyone has medical needs from time to time. Often, medical insurance with high deductibles eats into the ability of a family to cover unanticipated medical expenses. An e-gift card ensures that those you love get that which they need to heal - with adequate respect for their privacy. Perfect. This is very useful in any medical crisis in very specific ways. Supplements useful in various treatments are expensive and not covered. This is applicable to surgical patients, cancer patients, pediatric patients, and more. Medical equipment can be ordered - such as canes or walkers and your recipient can pay using their gift card.
What To Express in Your Card: What else do you need me to do? At the ready. xo

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
