Shelly’s Warriors was founded in July 2020 after the heartbreaking loss of our beloved Shelly Wittig-Warr, a devoted mom, daughter, grandma, sister, wife, and friend. Shelly’s courageous battle with cancer ended with a recurrence that she couldn’t overcome, but her legacy of selflessness and compassion continues to inspire everything we do.
Shelly was a woman who put others first—whether it was offering a ride, preparing a meal, giving her time, or simply being there to listen. She always showed up for those she loved, and it is in her honor that we created Shelly’s Warriors.
Our nonprofit was born from a desire to keep her generous spirit alive by supporting those who need it most.
After witnessing the overwhelming financial burdens that many cancer patients face, we recognized a gap: while many organizations exist to raise funds for cancer research, we saw few that offered immediate financial assistance to individuals currently undergoing treatment.
With this in mind, we established Shelly’s Warriors to provide small, accessible grants to help those fighting cancer with their everyday expenses—things like transportation, medical bills, and other critical needs during treatment.
Though we’re starting small, our goal is to grow Shelly’s Warriors into an organization that will continue to offer support to cancer patients for many years to come. We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our community and hope that, together, we can carry on Shelly’s mission to help others when they need it most.

At Shelly’s Warriors, our mission is simple: to provide immediate and tangible financial support to individuals and families currently undergoing cancer treatment. We understand that the financial strain during cancer treatment can be overwhelming, and we are committed to easing that burden. Whether it’s helping with medical bills, covering transportation costs to and from treatments, or providing general financial relief during an already difficult time, we are here to offer the support families need most.
We are proud to be a completely volunteer-run organization. Every member of our team is passionate about the cause, and we are committed to covering all of our own operating costs. This means that 100% of every donation we receive goes directly to cancer patients and their families. Donors can rest assured that their generosity is making a direct and meaningful impact on those who need it most.
As part of our commitment to transparency, we hope to share the stories of those we’ve helped, with their consent, on our social media platforms to highlight the true difference your support is making. These stories not only demonstrate the power of community but also show the hope and strength that come from helping one another in times of need.
Together, with your support, we aim to create a lasting legacy of compassion and assistance, continuing Shelly’s spirit of generosity and kindness.
