When you or a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, everything changes. At When Dragonflies Appear Foundation, we provide compassionate support for families navigating the challenges of caregiving. Our services focus on providing care and financial support to ease the journey for families and caregivers, emotional care, and honoring the lives at the heart of every diagnosis.

How We Help Families Facing Cancer

In-Home Care Support

We provide financial support for caregiving services and practical in-home help so families can rest, recharge, or step away knowing their loved one is cared for.


This hands-on support is especially vital for caregivers navigating around-the-clock responsibilities — because no one should do this alone

Therapy & Emotional Support for Caregivers

We offer financial support for therapy resources to help caregivers process grief, burnout, and the emotional toll of caregiving — during and after their loved one’s illness.

Mental and emotional wellness matter too. Our goal is to support the full journey, not just the logistics.

Rare Cancer Research Funding

We fund critical research for rare and underrepresented cancers to improve outcomes and expand treatment options.


Families facing rare diagnoses often feel overlooked — we’re here to change that through advocacy, funding, and awareness.
