Our Mission Statement & History
Hope & Help for Children with Cancer in New Jersey
Unlike national organizations that fund research, we are an independent, New Jersey based non-profit organization, working hands on with each family. The Ashley Lauren Foundation depends on the support of the community-at-large in order to provide immediate relief for the daily burdens thrust upon those who are battling pediatric cancer.

Meet 3-year-old Leo🎗️.
Just a few weeks ago, Leo’s mommy rushed him to the Jersey Shore Medical Center thinking he had the flu, but after a series of tests and scans, the doctors quickly discovered he had Burkitt’s Lymphoma Leukemia—a rare, aggressive blood cancer🎗️ (a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) with a large tumor in his abdomen. His condition quickly became critical quickly, leading to multiple complications and many days in the ICU that affected nearly every part of his body.
Though terrifying and overwhelming in the short time he’s been diagnosed, Leo has faced it all with incredible strength💪🏻.
Right now the needs for the family are simple: keep this beautiful child in your prayers as he continues treatment! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
THAT is more powerful than any toy, dream, DoorDash, or gift can give him. 🎗️🫶🏻🎗️
Now these are the updates we adore getting and what we LOVE posting….
Lucy, now 8, has finally entered survivorship for cancer. She has beaten retinoblastoma!
We are so grateful that now Lucy’s past no longer defines her future.
Congratulations Lucy! We couldn’t be more proud of you! 🎗️🫶🏻
