One Person CAN Make A Difference!®

  • My daughter got a Nitalia's Blanket the night we were diagnosed and checked into the hospital. Ever since, The Purple Society has been there for us researching, helping with treatments, and even making sure we have dinner! We love them like family!

    Stephanie S. – Gilbert AZ

  • The Purple Society helped our family fight ALL. When my sons cancer came back they were there to help him continue his fight, never quitting. Words cannot explain how much it means to us to have support like that.

    Luna Q – Phoenix AZ

  • The Purple Society helped our family so much with research and treatment options. They provided our daughter with a $10,000 grant for physical therapy that we would have never been able to afford without them. Thank you so much for all you do!

    Kerry L. – Phoenix AZ

  • Without help from The Purple Society, we would have never been able to get our daughter to Italy for life saving leukemia treatment. It's not available in our country, but that did not stop them from making sure our daughter was able to get it. They worked with the team in Italy to get our daughter there and treated. Today she is doing great! God Bless You!

    Rozafa C. – Kosovo

  • Not only did The Purple Society research and find a life saving treatment for my daughter, but they even helped us get to the out of state hospital and live there during my daughters treatments. With their help, we were able to fight this enemy and today my daughter is back home and getting better each day. Thank you, I love you all.

    Sandra F – Phoenix AZ

  • Without The Purple Society and The Conti Family, I don't know how we would have gotten through our daughters diagnosis, surgeries, and treatments. We LOVE them and can never thank them enough for all they do.

    Monica G. – Phoenix AZ

  • My daughter was given the most grim prognosis. She was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor. Our local hospital could not provide us with any treatments. Without The Society, we would not have known, nor have gotten to St. Jude for her cutting edge treatment. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Kate F. – Nevada

  • We were told my daughter had a brain tumor. We did not know what to do. We could not even think straight. The Purple Society was there for us, to help us make the best decisions for our daughter. Without them I don't know what we would have done.

    Giniesh W. – Pennsylvania

  • When our family needed research for my daughters brain tumor, we were referred to you for help. Not only did you help us research the best treatments, but you helped us stay strong and focused during the most trying times of our lives. Thank you for everything!

    Braden H. – Utah

  • When my son was first diagnosed, I used your website to help make the right decisions on his treatments. I can't thank you enough for everything you have provided us!

    Trevier S. – New Jersey
No one could make a greater mistake then he who did nothing because he could only do a little.
