Who Are We?

When our daughter, Pearl, was diagnosed with stage four Hepatoblastoma, our family quickly learned that we were in for a fight. Behind every child is a family navigating hospital stays, financial stress, uncertainty, and countless challenges that extend far beyond a diagnosis. During our time at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, we experienced firsthand the compassion of healthcare workers, the generosity of our community, and the difference that even the smallest act of kindness can make.

We created the Fight Like a Pearl Foundation to honor Pearl's courage and strength and ensure that other families feel supported during one of the most difficult seasons of their lives. Our mission is to provide hope through practical support by helping ease the financial burden of treatment while bringing comfort and encouragement to children fighting cancer and the families who love them.

We are proud to begin our journey serving families at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, with the vision of expanding our impact to children's hospitals throughout California as our foundation grows.

At Fight Like a Pearl Foundation, every donation, every volunteer, and every act of kindness helps another family remember that they are never fighting alone.

The Fight Like a Pearl Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Its mission is to provide financial support, gifts, and essential items to children and families affected by cancer, and to conduct charitable programs and fundraising activities that honor the memory of Pearl Nasont, supporting vulnerable children and their families.

The Foundation exists to carry on Pearl Nasont’s legacy by providing tangible support and hope to children battling cancer and their families. We aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those most in need while keeping Pearl’s spirit alive through acts of compassion and kindness.
