Gift Card Drive
Gas prices are rising, and for the families we serve at Lighthouse, that rise is not an inconvenience. It is a crisis.
Gas and grocery assistance are the number one requested forms of support from our Lighthouse families, and that need is only growing.
Many of our families drive 3 hours each way, from Yuma to Phoenix, just to make it to an appointment. Some families make that drive multiple times a week. Cancer is incredibly expensive, even with insurance, and our families are already stretched impossibly thing.

We wish we could fully convey to you just how much these families are carrying.
For many of these families, cancer is not the hardest thing in their lives. You only see a small fraction of the families we serve. But behind every family you hear about, there are dozens more who are counting on this community to show up for them. They are without a community to rally around them. No GoFundMe network. No one signing up for a meal train. That is why Lighthouse exists. To be their community, their family, and their reminder they are not alone.
We need your help now. You can shop our wish list or make a direct donation using this form. Every dollar goes directly to a family in need.
A Note From Our Founder.
A Note From Our Founder.
"When I had cancer, it was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. What most people don’t understand is that cancer is so much more than nausea and hair loss. There are side effects and fears that no one tells you about. There are weeks of time that I simply don’t remember. At one point, I had countless sores covering the roof of my mouth, under my tongue, stretching all the way down my esophagus. The physical, emotional, and financial toll of cancer is nearly impossible to put into words.
But here is what I also remember: I never had to pray for a meal. There were people at our door almost every single day, dropping off more food than we could eat. I never once had to worry about how I was going to get to the hospital. I never had to walk it alone. That community made the unbearable, bearable.
And that is what breaks my heart when I look at the families we support. They do not have that. They are fighting for their child’s life while simultaneously fighting poverty, isolation, and impossible circumstances. They are doing it mostly alone.
I would take my cancer 100 times over if it meant these families didn’t have to go through what they are going through.
I started Lighthouse For Hope because every family deserves a community. Every family deserves a light in the darkness. Please help us be that light for them today.” - Hannah Cobley, Founder
