It is my pleasure to introduce The Andrew Weishar (pronounced Wisher) Foundation (aka Weish4Ever), a grassroots, volunteer-led organization in Chicago that provides direct and immediate financial assistance to families with adolescents or young adults battling cancer by relieving the burdens brought on by the disease, bringing joy during difficult times, and ensuring these families know they are not alone in their fight. Just shy of his 22nd birthday, it was Andrew’s dying wish that his family pay forward all the kindness and generosity shown to his family during his three-year battle with an aggressive form of colorectal cancer. Younger brother, Dan, took this promise literally, and with the help of family and friends, created the foundation. In eleven years, Weish4Ever has welcomed over 540 families to the Weish4ever family and granted over $3 million dollars.
