Our primary goal is to help underwrite life-saving medical treatment and research throughout the United States for catastrophically and terminally ill children (and adults) battling, but not solely limited to, cancer and aids. Further, to underwrite aid to women battling breast cancer, as well as purchasing respite homes throughout the United States for families supporting loved ones undergoing treatment at various speciality treatment centers. Likewise, to advocate against health insurance companies and any other organization and/or firm that would deny any claim filed by an individual who is disabled and requires benefits, help and/or assistance. The success of our organization over the last thirty-five (35) years is due substantially to the generous help and support of retired judges, attorneys at law, congressmen and senators and a host of other individuals throughout the United States. Altruistic by nature, these individuals have provided invaluable assistance –– often at no cost –– to help us safeguard the rights of catastrophically and terminally ill children (and adults) to life-saving medical care throughout the United States.
