Welcome to Smile Forever

Smile Forever was founded in 2004. We are an organization dedicated to providing financial aid directly to families touched by cancer and autism. Smile Forever depends on contributed donations and sponsors. We concentrate primarily on serving Bergen and surrounding counties in northern New Jersey; however, we will extend our help on a larger geographical area depending on sponsor availability. Those suffering from other serious illnesses may be evaluated and considered for financial aid on an exception basis. Smile Forever does not let geographical boundaries or nature of illness restrict us.

Since 2004, Smile forever has given over $250,000 in distributable funds raised in 3 years, and more than 150 families have been granted funds.

Your compassion and concern for the less fortunate in our community is making a difference financially and spiritually. The courage and pride of these families who have worked hard for their place in life and are reluctant to receive assistance despite their illness and financial distress is admirable. It is upsetting to see the despair in children’s eyes as parents suffer and equally upsetting is seeing the concern in the parents’ eyes for their families’ future.  We can ease the despair momentarily with some hope and put a smile on their face because of your help. Please feel free to contact us if you know someone who is in need. We are able to take donations through mail or paypal with the use of a major credit card. Please go to our donate page to see the options for donating.

There are many people who have told us we are one of the few organizations in this area that respond directly and with a sense of urgency to families dealing with cancer and autism. We make sure children and household needs are the primary use of funds. We are proud of what we can do and appreciate anyone who helps us make patients smile. All our work is voluntary and a labor of love.
