Alexandra's Butterflies of Hope
Alexandra's Butterflies of Hope (a registered 501c3 public charity) is a unique non-profit organization whose goal is to provide
financial, emotional and logistical support to children with life-threatening health conditions, primarily juvenile cancers.
The inspiration and namesake of the organization is Alexandra Schaney, a 10-year old girl who suffers from Neuroblastoma and
its effects. Neuroblastoma is a rare cancer that attacks the nervous system and adrenal glands. The treatment process is
invasive, exhausting and extremely expensive.
Alexandra is presently undergoing treatment at Sloan Kettering in New York and Carolina Medical Center in her hometown of
Charlotte, NC. She and her parents have made many extended stays in New York during her periods of treatment.
Alexandra's Butterflies of Hope has been instrumental in raising funds, arranging for transportation and providing other
assistance in the treatment process. We have learned much in helping Alexandra and wish to share with other suffering
children and their families what we have learned about this condition and its treatment.
Through all of this Alexandra has exhibited a spirit and attitude that has carried her family and her supporters through her
personal ordeal.
