Linda Burhansstipanov knows firsthand what it feels like to be overwhelmed by cancer. When her stepfather was diagnosed with both lung and kidney cancer, she became a caregiver and advocate, trying to navigate a complex healthcare system while watching someone she loved face repeated cycles of improvement and decline. Like many families, she found herself searching for answers, resources, and guidance during an incredibly difficult time.
The NPH Foundation exists to provide the support that many families wish they had from the very beginning.
Our experienced navigators walk alongside patients, caregivers, and loved ones, offering guidance, resources, education, emotional support, and a trusted partner throughout the cancer journey. We help people feel informed, confident, and less alone during one of the most challenging times of their lives.
What truly sets us apart? We are a fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit with no administrative overhead. This means every single dollar you donate directly funds a patient's care. Every $250 raised provides 6 weeks of free support services for a patient, caregiver, or loved one who cannot afford it.
Imagine the relief of a patient who finally understands the complexity of cancer as a diagnosis and a journey. You can make an immediate and profound impact by donating today. Become a vital part of our mission to ensure people receive the guidance and support they deserve.
Linda Burhansstipanov, Founder of NPH Foundation
