The Mission of the Desi Geestman Foundation is to improve the quality of life for children suffering from cancer and their families. The foundation provides environments of support that alleviate emotional and economic trauma.
DGF is named in honor of Desi Geestman, a brave twelve year old girl who fought a courageous battle with Neuroblastoma at The City of Hope. Desi expressed her wish to help other cancer patients and their families which is how DGF came to life. DGF has grown from a wish by our namesake to an organization providing vital assistance to hundreds of children since 1999.
Our assistance is unique from other charities and takes many forms, from direct financial assistance, to hosting birthday parties and special events, to granting special wishes. Our aim is to throw a life jacket to cancer patients and their families, whether the need be groceries, medications not covered by insurance or bone marrow donor transportation.
