The Carin MacLean Foundation (CMF) is a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit that provides direct financial support to mothers in New England undergoing cancer treatment. These women are often the emotional and practical anchors of their families—yet cancer threatens not only their health, but their stability at home.
CMF steps in to cover critical everyday expenses like gas, groceries, and utility bills, offering immediate relief so mothers can focus on healing without the added burden of financial stress. Every dollar we raise goes directly to recipients. No overhead. No paid staff. Just real help, when and where it’s needed most.
Your support through MyGivingCircle helps us reach more families, faster. Whether through donations, votes, or grant nominations, you are giving a mother the chance to breathe, to rest, and to continue showing up for her family during the fight of her life.
This work is personal. It was inspired by Carin MacLean’s courage and compassion during her own battle with cancer. With your help, we continue her legacy—bringing dignity, hope, and practical support to others walking a similar path.
Every vote counts. Every donation makes a difference. Together, we can be the hand that lifts someone up when they need it most.
