No One Should Face Aggressive APL Alone
Support Programs Coming Soon
At the Sherelle McKinley Thomas Leukemia Foundation, we're building a trusted space where patients, caregivers, and families can turn for compassion, clarity, and community.
Support Programs
We are building a trusted space where patients, caregivers, and families can turn for compassion, clarity, and community. Here’s a preview of what’s coming:
Emotional & Peer Support
Coming Soon
We are working to create inclusive, healing spaces for patients, caregivers, and families dealing with Aggressive APL.
- Patients navigating diagnosis and treatment.
- Caregivers spouses and partners
- Families experiencing loss or transition
Our goal is to offer virtual and in-person support groups with multilingual and culturally sensitive options.
Educational Resources
In Development
We're preparing easy-to-understand, compassionate resources to guide you through every step of the APL journey.
- Understanding Aggressive APL
- Preparing for treatment and hospital visits
- Communicating with care teams
- Finding second opinions and support programs
These resources will be available as guides, infographics, and videos soon.
Financial Navigation
Launching in the Future
As our foundation grows, we plan to offer financial assistance to help ease the burden during treatment.
- Financial assistance for treatment-related travel and lodging
- Emergency grants for living expenses
- Help connecting with external funding sources and programs
We know the financial burden is real. This program is one of our top priorities.
Community & Connection
In Progress
We're laying the groundwork for a supportive community where no one has to face Aggressive APL alone.
- Virtual community meetups
- Wellness workshops and speaker panels
- A story-sharing wall and memorial tributes
You'll be able to connect with others walking this same journey—because you are not alone.
