Patient Assistance
2/3/23
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Effective immediately, we will no longer process
Applications for Patient Assistance. After over 21 years of providing various
types of assistance to leukemia patients, such as financial grants and
assistance with bone marrow donor drives, we find it necessary to proceed to
“close up shop” which we plan will soon include filing Articles of Dissolution
to cease all activities as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit Foundation. Age and
health-related issues have helped us to reach this difficult decision.
2/3/23
As with the decision noted to our
Board in February, 2021 to stop hosting Bone Marrow Drives due to a lack
of any response to the totally digital drive held in 2020, we have also decided
that we have run the course with actively seeking to provide financial assistance
to leukemia patients. Age and some related health issues have also helped
us to reach this decision. With that said, while we still operate briefly as an
incorporated Foundation, we'll try to process any reimbursement requests we receive, but
we'll gradually begin to "close up shop" which we understand will
finally involve filing Articles of Dissolution with the appropriate Florida and
Georgia agencies.
Our plan would be to put IMPORTANT NOTICES on
all Tab home pages that explain our reasons for this action, and to
clarify that all previous website pages and information referring to the
Foundation activities that make up the great majority of the Website activity
simply remain on the website purely from an "human interest"
perspective as information to anyone interested in Shannon's journey of 15
months battling leukemia and the effects of a bone marrow transplant and to
remain for a time simply as an on-going memorial to Shannon.. Except for satisfying
any Foundation-related normal remaining financial obligations, we would then
plan to distribute the remaining balance to some worthwhile like-minded
organizations just prior to filing the aforementioned Articles of Dissolution.

Welcome to The Shannon Mosher Memorial Foundation, Inc. ("Foundation") website. By accessing the various links on this site, it is our desire that you will be enlightened, encouraged, as well as challenged by Shannon's story...to the point of getting actively involved in the battle against leukemia and helping to ensure that future patients needing a bone marrow transplant will have a greater opportunity for long-term survival.
Sadly, Shannon is a statistic. She is one of the 21,700 people who the American Cancer Society projected would die of leukemia during the year 2000; this number of deaths is 70% of the total 30,800 new cases of leukemia projected for 2000 in the United States. This is an unacceptable rate!!
But Shannon is so much more than a statistic; she was an inspiration to thousands of people who followed her story. You will have the opportunity to learn first hand about Shannon and the struggles she and her family endured during her 15 month battle with leukemia. You will learn about the mission of the Foundation and what you can do to help, financially and otherwise.
Because of Shannon's battle and her heartfelt desire to do something to help others who face this disease, the Foundation is committed to honoring her life as we address three primary needs by increasing the funding for leukemia and bone marrow transplant scientific research; by increasing the number of bone marrow donors on the national registries; and by assisting individual leukemia patients and their families financially and through other resources.
Join our "SALT & LIGHT" crusade and become a bone marrow donor...Save A Life Tomorrow so that others may Live In Great Hope Today.
Applying For Financial Assistance: If you are a leukemia patient who would like to be considered for limited financial aid, send an email to describing your situation and including the patient's name. home address, phone number and name and address of the hospital where treatment is being received to: stuartmosher@aol.com, or mail it to: The Shannon Mosher Memorial Foundation, Inc. at 3589 Rock Elm Court, Auburn, GA 30011. Our Patient Assistance program provides aid in form of reimbursements for certain expenses not covered by your insurance provider. If tentatively qualified, a financial grant application form will be sent to you for completion. A parent or other involved family member or friend, acting on behalf of a leukemia patient, may also assist in providing the appropriate information to the Foundation.
Those of us who are involved in actively seeking to fulfill the primary mission of this Foundation in Shannon's honor, covet your prayers, emotional support and words of encouragement.
