Giving Tuesday
This Giving Tuesday, December 2, 2025, our community came together to support the William J. Semon Family Resource Fund—a vital resource that provides immediate assistance to patients at MercyOne Richard Deming Cancer Center. The William J. Semon Family Resource Fund supports cancer patients with the additional financial burdens and added expenses of cancer treatments, co-pays, travel, medication and nutritional supplements. Because of your generosity, we raised over $35,480 to help those facing cancer with compassion and care.
Unleash generosity this Giving Tuesday.
"I have had many patients brought to tears when I am able to give them a gift card at just the right time to get them over financial drought," said MercyOne Des Moines Cancer Center Oncology Nurse Navigator Kim Carstens, BSN, RN, OCN.
"As MercyOne Richard Deming oncology nurse navigators, we are extremely grateful for the generosity of the Semon family and your support of our cancer patients."
Your gift will be doubled!
The founder of the Semon Fund, Linda Semon, is generously matching all gifts made before and on Giving Tuesday. Thank you for helping patients living with cancer with their immediate needs. Please give generously knowing each dollar directly impacts cancer patients in need.
