"Why Me is a grassroots nonprofit providing free support services, love, and hope to children battling cancer and their families throughout Central New England. Founded by 13-year-old Sherry Shepherd, Why Me is led in part by parents who understand the childhood cancer journey firsthand. From diagnosis through treatment and beyond, Why Me offers compassionate, family-centered support every step of the way. Inspired by Sherry’s dream, Why Me is committed to easing the burden of childhood cancer by providing comfort, connection, and practical support to the entire family, ensuring no child or family has to face this journey alone."
