Our Work

Since 2008, BigEd.org has been helping cancer patients in the Boston area, and their families, by providing funds to cover the little expenses that add up during treatment. While large nonprofits focus on raising important funds for cancer research, BigEd.org helps individuals and families with those daily living expenses that can pile up over weeks of treatment. Some of the expenses that we can help with include:

Utilities
Groceries
Parking fees
Car rental or taxi fare
Children’s toys and books
Incidental expenses

APPRECIATION

We constantly receive cards and letters of thanks from patients and their families. Here’s are just some of the comments we get regularly about BigEd.org’s support:

“What a wonderful surprise I got when I received your aid. The stress of being diagnosed with cancer should be enough, but the traveling, doctor appointments and expenses that go along with that can be over-bearing. Thank you for helping with this stress. You are so appreciated!” – Janice Daniels

“Thanks to the BigEd.org organization for the assistance during my treatment. It has been an exhausting and very challenging year and every little bit really, really helped. Sincere thanks!” – Donna Morton

“What an incredible surprise and generous gift! The grocery gift cards are going to be a great help this month. Thank you! Thank you! We are definitely so blessed. With infinite love and appreciation!” – Carolina, Ed & Ray Drummond
