華人癌症紀念基金會 CCMF （The Chinese Cancer Memorial Foundation） was founded by Dr. Paul Huang in 1996, while in memory of his late wife Daisy Ku Haung who had passed away due to stomach cancer at age of 46. Initially named the Daisy Ku Huang Memorial Foundation, it was changed to Chinese Cancer Memorial Foundation to embrace other families who had also lost their loved ones due to cancer, as well as provide support to cancer patients both directly and via other organizations. The organization is made up of 5 board members, with Dr. Paul Huang as chairman, and Dr. Jenta Shen, Dr Ming-Chien Tang, Wen Ku, and Kitty Geiger.
While CCMF may be a small organization, with all board members present being volunteers and no staff members, they do their utmost in order to provide the most support and help to cancer patients, the family members, and other organizations. CCMF sponsors educational programs related to cancer prevention and end-of-life care. All CCMF programs and projects are screened and evaluated by all board members to ensure they are helpful to the communities.
In May 2019, CCMF had a charity concert in Redemption Church, San Jose with Tsai Chin, a world-renowned Chinese singer. This event was organized and hosted by CCMF, and successfully fundraised $627,000. All the proceeds went towards sponsorships for cancer-related organizations.

Jane Yang is a CACCC volunteer in Southern California
Ma Ma Yang is one year younger than Ma Ma Lan; she is CACCC Director Shirley Pan’s mom. In the past, Ma Ma Yang often attended CACCC events with Shirley and was always a loyal audience. All the volunteers in Southern California adored her. At home, she helped Shirley on small tasks, such as sorting the Heart to Heart Café cards and put them into boxes. She has early stage Alzheimer, has trouble with her short-term memory. But she is in general healthy and happy.
During the pandemic, CACCC launched a campaign to donate home-made cloth masks to people in need. After Shirley collected cotton bed sheets, she helped to wash them and iron them flat. Everyday after dinner, she and Shirley would spend the entire evening cutting the material and making masks. She also inspected every mask other volunteer made and cut extra threads off before Shirley sanitized and distributed them to various hospitals, nursing homes, and other community organizations. Ma Ma Yang is indeed a model volunteer behind the scene.

Kaiwen Zhang is a CACCC volunteer in Northern California
Kaiwen was immigrated to US in her 20s. With a diploma from middle school, she can only find jobs in the kitchens of Chinese restaurants. In order to improve her life, she studied hard and finished her bachelor degree while working to make a living. In 2015, she attended free classes offered by CACCC and became a volunteer. In 2017, she completed the 30 hour hospice and palliative care volunteer training program in Sacramento. Later she also finished the patient ambassador training in Mountain View and became a patient ambassador at El Camino Hospital.
After becoming a CACCC volunteer, she met many volunteers with different background, education and experiences. From them, she realized that she has a lot of room to learn and improve. When she visited and chatted with patients, even though she thought that she did little, her patients felt been loved and really appreciated her companionship. During the pandemic, she acquired home-made cloth masks from CACCC and distributed them to cancer patients in her community in person. A lot of people called CACCC to express their gratitude for Kaiwen’s help.
Kaiwen put her “heart” into her volunteer work. She wants to thank her family who support her volunteer work whole-heartedly and she would like to give more to the community.

Sumei Situ is a CACCC volunteer in New York
Sumei is the coordinator in New York during the pandemic in charge of the distribution of the PPEs for the CACCC PPE donation campaign. She also helped organize volunteers to make cloth masks. She would distribute material to volunteers and deliver the products to the organizations in need. During the lockdown, she took a great risk to take on this important task. Her service is invaluable to CACCC.
Sumei’s father passed away 11 years ago unexpectedly. The regret and sorrow lingering in her mind made her think hard about the meaning of life. Her father once said: “True love does not expect any return”. Her father’s word inspired her to become a volunteer for the hospice and palliative care patients.
After finishing the 30 hour hospice and palliative care volunteer training in 2019, Sumei became a visiting volunteer at Dawn Greene Hospice. Her patients are not limited to Chinese. She also visited American and Latino patients. She accompanied many patients with different personalities, experience and background to walk through the last journey of their lives. She gave her patients emotional support via music, jokes, chatting, discussion of serious subjects like literature or philosophy or just companionship. She felt confident since the first day she was on the task because of the solid training she received in the CACCC classes.
Being a hospice volunteer, Sumei had to say goodbye to her patients/friends over and over again. She understands that no one can escape death, therefore, she is not too sad when it happened. Instead, she felt comfort thinking that she had spent time with them and walked with them at their last journey. She learned to have a tender heart and live in love. She is eagerly anticipating to resume her patient visiting work after the pandemic is over.
