We address the psychosocial and emotional needs of the young adult cancer patient population and their loved ones. Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, we provide transformative respite experiences to cancer patients (ages 24-55), their caregivers and their children. We offer our families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them.

Story

For Pete's Sake Cancer Respite Foundation (FPS) enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting respite experiences. The FPS Respite Staycation program equips families with resources for respite, reflection and financial relief when a family is unable to travel due to advanced stage cancer. This opportunity allows families to connect and create magical moments within their own homes. We need your help to ensure that families facing advanced stage cancer who are unable to travel can enjoy the benefits of respite in their home.

Read the note below from Juanita Miller; her family was unable to travel due to her husband becoming ill unexpectedly as both were battling cancer. Please consider helping more families like the Millers, receive the chance to take a break from cancer at home!

Dear FPS, Thank you for the Staycation Package! Programs like yours is what has kept me going! The work you do and the care you show for families gives people hope. My husband and I hardly ever have date nights even before both of us were diagnosed with cancer. We spent so much time working and raising our kids. The Staycation money will be used for a couple of date nights. Jasmin is doing great in college. Jack loves to color so he could never have too many crayons. Thank You! - Juanita Miller, FPS Staycation recipient.
