TESTIMONIAL“After suffering from C-diff and sepsis in the middle of a cancer diagnosis, I had to make changes and quit my job. The Leishline Financial Aid was a huge financial relief. The process was super easy and I’m very grateful for this opportunity.”

Survivors & Families
Our programs focus on everyday needs like food, gas and housing so these remarkable survivors and families can stay focused on recovery.
Children
Our children’s programs assist families with short term housing, travel and everyday needs so families can focus on their children’s care.
Women
All women need to know the risks of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and have access to safe feminine hygiene products. Our women’s programs educate communities on TSS and provide women facing housing insecurity with safe feminine hygiene products.
TESTIMONIAL“Thank you everyone for the generous Leishline grant! It was so helpful during a time when I couldn’t work. It aided with gas money and household bill. What a very thoughtful program! I appreciate it so much!”
