General Info:
About Devin Laubi Foundation The Devin Laubi Foundation raises funds to financially assist families of children stricken with cancer in southeastern Massachusetts, throughout New England and across the United States. Parents have enough to worry about when caring for a seriously ill child. They should not have to worry about their bills or job security during this time of crisis. Frightened children need every facet of their parents' attention. The Foundation's aim is to remove one of the many burdens. View the list of Foundation trustees and board members. Our family learned this first hand, with the loss of our six-year-old son, Devin, to cancer (medulloblastoma, a brain tumor). This was a devastating loss. The financial ramifications forced us to make decisions no parent should have to consider: go to work or be where your heart is or potentially lose your home from the loss of income. Maintaining stability and normalcy is difficult during turmoil. Please consider attending an event or making a donation to help a family in need of assistance. We have tax receipts if needed, as we are tax exempt (state and federal). Matthew 9 months old with pinealblastoma (brain tumor), Fall Fall RiverMA About Devin Devin Laubi was born on August 23, 1996. He lived his whole life in the small town of Westport, Massachusetts. His parents enjoyed watching him grow, learn and explore his new world. Devin emulated his big brother, Reid, especially in sports, which he excelled in at an early age. Devin's energetic, adventurous, playful nature endeared him to everyone. Being smart, funny, precocious yet innocent, kept his family and friends entertained. His younger sister, Audra, adored him, always wanting to be by his side, the best of friends. Devin was diagnosed on Valentine's Day, 2003, with an aggressive brain tumor called medulloblastoma at the age of six. The doctors initially predicted his survival rate was 70%, a percentage that then plummeted to 40%, 25% and finally 3%. He slipped into a coma on Easter and succumbed to this disease on April 24, 2003.
