Help Me.. Stick It To Cancer!

Hello, my name is Bryan Utech and I am the Founder of STICK IT TO CANCER (http://www.stickittocancer.org).
What is Stick It to Cancer?
Stick It to Cancer is a non profit organization dedicated to directly helping individuals fighting cancer by lightening the financial burden that treating this illness can have. Our hope is that individuals will be able to concentrate on getting well instead of worrying about how they are going to pay for treatment. We will assist individuals directly by helping them pay hospital bills, mortgages, pay for groceries, etc.
Why did you start Stick It to Cancer?
Cancer is projected to grow two fold within the next five years. I realized that everyone I talked to, in my everyday life, has a direct connection to someone fighting cancer. My father-in-law has prostate cancer. My neice's son fought and WON childhood cancer. And, my brothers wife is currently fighting her second breast cancer battle. My sister-in-law is fighting with everything she's got and not a day goes by that I don't think about the struggles this illness has opposed upon her, my brother, and their two young children. I'm seeing first hand the financial challenges they are facing. It is hard enough to deal with the idea of losing a love one to this awful illness, and add the burden of the financial aspect, it's just so overwhelming! I started this non profit to help people with stories just like hers. I just couldn't sit and watch them struggle.
Why the name Stick It to Cancer?
Because the majority of your donations come from selling stickers.
Why are you doing this GoFundMe?
This GoFundMe page was created to raise enough money to get this non-profit off the ground. The first thing I need to do is file for 501(c)3 status and to trademark the charity's name. Together, these two items cost $1100. 501(c)3 status will allow Stick It to Cancer to accept tax-free donations. It is the life vein of all non-profits. Any donations over the $1100 will be used to build our website and go towards ordering our first round of stickers.
I thank you so much for checking out my GoFundMe! Any size contribution helps! Once this non-profit is established, your support of this GoFundMe will end up helping hundreds of people Stick it to Cancer.
Stick It to Cancer... Helping fight cancer one sticker at a time!
Thank you and have a great day!
Bryan
