Cancer doesn't pause someone's mortgage bill. On North Texas Giving Day, you can help!
When someone in Tarrant County gets a cancer diagnosis, the medical bills show up fast, and the regular bills don't stop. The mortgage still comes. So do the electric bill and the car payment that gets them to chemo. Families end up choosing between treatment and keeping the lights on.
The Gregg Pearson Foundation exists so they don't have to choose. We pay the everyday bills (rent or mortgage, utilities, car payments) so patients can put their energy into getting well.
$10,000 lifts the weight off up to four local families in the middle of cancer treatment. It isn't a gift card or a one-time tank of gas. It's enough to catch up on the rent, keep the lights on, and make the car payment, so the family has room to breathe for a while.
We're asking for your help to provide 10 more families' with relief. Every gift moves one of them closer.
What your gift does:
100% of your gift goes to families. None of it goes to overhead or admin costs.
This year alone, we've given out more than $361,000 to DFW families facing cancer.
We do it to honor Gregg Pearson, who spent his life showing up for other people. This is how we keep showing up.
Give today... our neighbors battling cancer are counting on us to show up!
The Gregg Pearson Foundation exists to provide financial, spiritual, and emotional support to DFW community members who are dealing with cancer and other acute illnesses.
The Gregg Pearson Foundation exists to ease the burden for local cancer patients—providing critical support for rent, utilities, transportation, and basic living expenses so they can focus on healing.
But we can’t do it without you.
We rely on the generosity of monthly and annual donors to serve those fighting cancer in the DFW area.
100% of every donation goes directly to the families we support.
No administrative costs are taken from your gift. Just real help for real people—delivered with compassion, care, and urgency.
Your ongoing support allows us to say “yes” more often. Yes to the single mom undergoing treatment. Yes to the grandfather driving to chemo. Yes to the families trying to hold it all together during the fight of their lives.
At The Gregg Pearson Foundation, we believe that every individual facing cancer deserves compassionate care, dignified support, and hope for the journey ahead. Our commitment to equity ensures that qualified individuals—those with a current cancer diagnosis residing in Tarrant County- have fair and respectful access to financial, emotional, and spiritual assistance.
We recognize that serious illness affects every area of life. That’s why we evaluate each request with empathy and integrity, offering help with essentials like mortgage or rent, utilities, transportation, and other critical needs. Every decision is guided by a mission to serve without bias, favoritism, or barriers, ensuring those we help feel seen, supported, and uplifted.
Rooted in Gregg Pearson’s legacy of quiet strength and unwavering faith, we are devoted to creating a community where no one walks through cancer alone—regardless of their income, background, or circumstance—so long as they meet our criteria of diagnosis and location.
Because equity, to us, means offering the right support to the right people at the right time-with heart, humility, and honor.
