The mission of the Anna Schindler Foundation is to financially and emotionally support families fighting childhood cancer in the Inland Northwest and to increase awareness of this disease. Because of the founder's personal experience of having a child with cancer, we understand diagnosed families face loss of income, family/job displacement and hardship for weeks, months, and sometimes years. The Anna Schindler Foundation works to advocate for and assist these families through our Family Support Program and Anna's Homes (temporary housing for out-of-town childhood cancer families going through intensive treatments at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital in Spokane, WA).
