: : >The Emmanuel Cancer Foundation (ECF) a New Jersey
: : >non-profit organization, was founded in 1983 by
: : Joseph
: : >and Susan Vizzoni who lost their son Emmanuel at the
: : >age of seven after a two year long battle with his
: : >illness.  As parents of a child stricken with cancer,
: : >they discovered the hardships this disease imposes on
: : >the entire family.  After living through the
: : emotional
: : >and financial impact, the Vizzonis recognized the
: : need
: : >to create an organization to meet the specific needs
: : >of families undergoing the horrific struggles
: : >associated with pediatric cancer.  The mission of ECF
: : >is to preserve the quality of life for any New Jersey
: : >family whose child has been diagnosed with cancer. 
: : >Through strategically located Regional Centers, ECF
: : >serves families in all 21 New Jersey counties.
: : >
: : >

: : >A family?s life changes dramatically when a diagnosis
: : >of cancer strikes.  Critically ill children are
: : >confined by long hospital stays and undergo extensive
: : >radiation and chemotherapy treatments.  Medical and
: : >non-medical expenses increase.  At the same time, a
: : >family's income is often impacted by the parents?
: : time
: : >away from work to be with a critically child.
: : >
: : > 
: : >
: : >ECF functions by providing free in-home counseling by
: : >professional caseworkers, 24 hours a day.  Emergency
: : >funds are available to assist families who find
: : >themselves in a crisis situation that may result in
: : >losing the basic services they need to survive, such
: : >as rent, auto insurance, or utilities.  Material
: : needs
: : >such as groceries, clothing and other household items
: : >are delivered to the families.  Toys are distributed
: : >to the child and siblings on birthdays and holidays. 
: : >Holiday parties and summer picnics provide ECF
: : >children and their families with a sense of community
: : >through opportunities to meet others who are also
: : >struggling with pediatric cancer.
