Family Turns Tragedy into Triumph with Foundation for Cancer Families

After losing their five-year-old son Emilio to cancer, Diane Nares and her husband channeled their grief into a mission to support other families facing pediatric cancer, leading to the creation of the Emilio Nares Foundation. LaToya Johnson, whose daughter battled cancer, met Diane during her daughter’s first cancer treatment in 2007, forming a bond forged in shared struggles. Over the past two decades, this foundation has provided critical support to over 11,000 families, offering free transportation to medical appointments and delivering snack bags post-chemotherapy. They also assist families with housing needs during these challenging times. This collaboration exemplifies how personal tragedies can transform into communal support networks, bringing comfort and practical help to those enduring similar pains. The story of the Nares and Johnson families highlights the incredible impact of turning a personal loss into a legacy of compassion and support for the community.
