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 7-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.
