What is the David Foster
Foundation?
The David Foster Foundation (DFF) assists
families with children in need of major organ transplants. They
are a last resort organization, helping those who have no other
means of financial support to cover the non-medical expenses that
arise when a child needs to be transported out of the area for assessment
or to undergo transplant surgery. Those expenses cover a broad spectrum
of needs that are individual to each family. Whatever the need,
the David Foster Foundation has always been there to help ease the
financial burden the family must face. For more information about
the David Foster Foundation, visit the DFF web site at www.davidfosterfoundation.org
.
