Mission Statement
Recognizing the unique challenges of a rare sarcoma cancer diagnosis, our mission is to enhance the well-being of patients, survivors, and their caregivers by providing targeted support initiatives that ease financial and emotional burdens, allowing for a greater focus on healing.
About This Cause
The Vasquez Sarcoma Foundation is a San Antonio-based nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being of individuals affected by sarcoma cancer, a rare and often under-supported disease. As sarcoma patients ourselves, we recognize the unique challenges faced by patients of all ages – pediatric, adolescent and young adult (AYA), and adult – as well as their caregivers, we provide targeted financial and emotional support initiatives. Our core mission is to alleviate the significant financial and emotional burdens that often accompany a sarcoma diagnosis, empowering individuals to prioritize their healing journey. We strive to achieve this through: Direct Financial Assistance: Offering grants and resources to help patients and their families manage the often overwhelming costs associated with sarcoma treatment, including medical bills, travel, and living expenses. Comprehensive Emotional Support: Facilitating access to support networks, peer mentorship programs, and mental health resources to address the emotional toll of a sarcoma diagnosis for patients and their caregivers. Dedicated Advocacy for Awareness: Raising public awareness about sarcoma cancer, its rarity, and the critical need for increased research funding and support. We aim to amplify the voices of the sarcoma community and advocate for greater resources at local, state, and national levels. By providing crucial financial relief, fostering supportive emotional connections, and actively advocating for greater awareness, The Vasquez Sarcoma Foundation aims to cultivate a stronger, more informed, and resilient sarcoma community in San Antonio, across Texas, and beyond. We are committed to a patient-centered approach, ensuring compassionate and comprehensive support for everyone impacted by this challenging disease.
