Mission Statement
The Wish4Life Foundation was founded by Dr. Tanya Trippett in response to the wish of her young cancer patient, whom she treated and cured, that other African children have access to the quality of care that made his cure possible. His parents agreed to the creation of the Foundation to celebrate their son’s cure. The focus of the Foundation is a global humanitarian initiative designed to provide or enhance the opportunity for a pediatric cancer cure for children in developing nations. Through access to essential medical expertise, medicines and supplies, resources and infrastructure support, the Wish4Life Foundation will provide capacity building in partnership with pediatric cancer programs in the global healthcare community. The initial work of the Foundation founded by Dr. Tanya Trippett and the parents of Eugène Gasana Jr. to address this unmet need was conducted in Rwanda. Now we have broadened the scope with an outreach to Ghana where the Foundation will create a sustainable International Children's Cancer Research Centre that will later be recapitulated in other developing nations.
