Our Story

Helping Moms Make Memories

We founded the Manda Strong Foundation to celebrate Manda’s choices of faith over fear and family over circumstance. We come alongside women in Collin and Grayson County Texas, fighting cancer, with children at home to help make those memories. So, whether you need Christmas memories in August, help making an unforgettable vacation happen, or just time with your family, we’ve got you.

How We Serve

Making Memories

With the help of our supporters, the Manda Strong Foundation sends moms battling cancer on vacations with their families — time away together, from magical Disney trips to quiet getaways. In the middle of one of life’s hardest chapters, making joyful memories is deeply healing: it gives families laughter to hold onto and moments of togetherness that outlast any diagnosis.

Connecting Resources

Some needs go beyond a trip, so we connect moms battling cancer with other organizations that offer the support they’re looking for — from medical information to financial assistance and more. Every mom deserves answers, relief, and a path forward, and we help her find them, wherever they come from.

Community Support

Cancer can feel isolating, so we hold support groups — online and in person — where moms battling cancer can talk openly about what they’re going through and lean on others with similar experiences. No one should have to walk this road alone, and here, no one does.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.”

— 2 Timothy 4:7 (NIV)

Our Generous Partners

These caring partners help us send moms and their families on the trips they deserve.

Cindy & Ed have been such a blessing to our family. From our first phone call when we bonded over the similarities between Manda and I, to the sweet care package, and the constant check ins from Cindy. If you are looking for a cause to support that truly makes a difference, please donate to Manda Strong! This week was so magical and for once our girls got to focus on the magic of Disney and not worry about mommy! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
