Infertility & Fundraising

 

Thanks to all the fabulous people who have supported the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation! To date the Cade Foundation has provided 74 families with grants of up to $10,000 and hosted hundreds of education programs to share about different ways to OVERCOME infertility.

When my husband and I were diagnosed with infertility one year into our marriage, I struggled with the fear of never becoming a mom. I was ashamed of my body for failing me- angry at other people who got pregnant with ease and frustrated because I thought we were the only ones struggling to conceive. Years later- my mom served as our Gestational carrier and delivered our miracle triplets. Infertility was hard to face- and as soon as we became parents, my husband and I committed to giving back to help people still struggling to become parents. I knew I had to do something. That’s when I began my personal crusade to fight back. I’m sure you know (or, like me, maybe even love) someone who has infertility. The statistics on this terrible disease are alarming — and clearly establish a challenge for all of us. My fondest wish is to see a cure in my lifetime. We started the Cade Foundation, and through this vehicle that we have supported thousands of individuals and families.

I started running the Cade Foundation in 2007 and I did that for an entire decade. I may one day go back to running the Foundation full time, when my writing deadlines ease. But, for now, I’m hosting a different kind of fundraiser. I encourage each person reading this to consider donating $1 to support families with infertility (but you are welcome and invited to donate more).  We will also post the silent auction for the Cade Foundation Gala every Fall 3 weeks prior to the auction and I invite you to bid on the items.

Also a percentage of every GUUD Book will be donated to the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation.

What if you don’t read books? No problem, we also take straight donations. If you have Paypal, you can virtually send your donation to Cade Foundation. If you’d like to send a check, make it out to the Tinina Q. Cade Foundation and mail it to:

If you’d like to make any other arrangements, feel free to contact me. I’m grateful for anything you can offer. The Tinina Q Cade Foundation is a 501(c)3, so all donations are tax-deductible (all donations for which you do not receive something of equal value in exchange—according to the tax laws but check with your own accountant or attorney for more details on that).
