To inspire hope and possibility in young adults who are living with life-threatening illnesses

Our Mission

Launched in 2007, the Cameron Siemers Foundation for Hope is a non-profit organization that supports young adults with life-threatening illnesses. The founder, Cameron Siemers, was 2 years old when he received a blood transfusion. Five years later, he was diagnosed HIV positive. Doctors told him he wouldn’t live past age 10. That was in 1992. Read Cameron’s story here. With recent breakthroughs in medicine, children with life-threatening illnesses are outliving their life expectancies. And the miracle that found Cameron is becoming a reality for many like him. Although there are many foundations that support children with life-threatening illnesses, the Cameron Siemers Foundation for Hope was created to help children transition into adulthood. Our major program is called Life Grants™. Each year, the Cameron Siemers Foundation for Hope awards a minimum of four Life Grants to young adults who are living with life-threatening illnesses. A Life Grant is an award of up to $5,000 to help young adults make a difference in their lives and their communities. Learn more here. Cameron is committed to inspiring a new generation of young adults with life-threatening illnesses to create a life of hope and possibility. As a non-profit organization, the Cameron Siemers Foundation for Hope operates on the donations of people like you. If you are interested in contributing to Cameron’s Foundation, you can do so here.
