Our Commitment

The Prayers from Maria Foundation was established to fight a specific form of childhood cancer - brain tumors commonly referred to as "gliomas". Incidents of gliomas are becoming more and more frequent, and claim the lives of hundreds of children per year in the United States. Our mission is to find a cure for this tragic family of diseases, while also providing information and assistance to families with children who suffer from gliomas.
