When Michael J. Herman established The Zachary Cole Foundation two years ago, he was fueled by grief, but also by purpose. After losing his athletic son to a rare form of leukemia, Herman vowed to assist families facing similar heartbreak. "The families get little to no support when parents are caring for children with cancer," he explains. "We step in to cover critical needs, food, travel expenses, even the mortgage, so parents can focus on their child."
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit guided by a committed board of directors, The Zachary Cole Foundation (ZCF) operates with transparency and empathy. One statement on their website underscores this mission: "We are so very grateful for the resources we receive from corporations, individual and volunteer support. We are also grateful to be able to assist those we are able to assist." Michael adds. "We would love to help every child with cancer, but resources are limited, so we make sure the help we give counts."
