Introducing our latest patient-focused initiative
Making a Difference in the Lives of GBM Families: Our In-Kind Donation Program
At the Glioblastoma Research Organization, we understand that the journey with glioblastoma is not just a medical one, but a financial and emotional one as well. That's why we're proud to announce our latest initiative with the support of an incredibly generous donor, to support families affected by GBM. By offering Amazon gift cards for medical and household supplies, we hope to ease some of the financial burden and provide a much-needed helping hand.
Limited supply of gift cards, or while supplies last. This initiative is not in connection with Amazon*
“The extended caregiver network the GBMRO provides is a safe haven where individuals can connect with others who are going through similar experiences. Family of GBM warriors are able to share struggles, learn from others, and find comfort in knowing they are not alone. The work that the Glioblastoma Research Organization does is so important and I am grateful for all they have done for families.”
