CompassionCantWait.org was originally founded under the name "Andre Sobel River of Life". This 20-year-old foundation quickly became the expert in giving to single-parent families when a child falls critically ill. The one of a kind organization has given 13,000+ families more than $8 million in emergency funds. Unlike most nonprofits, we respond to requests for help in just 24 hours because compassion can't wait.

When single parent families are in despair, Compassion Can't Wait helps with urgent expenses to allow these caregivers to stay at their child's bedside during catastrophic illness. We provide swift financial assistance in an unprecedented turnaround time. Donations help desperate single parents with not having to make impossible choices - whether to go to work to keep home intact and support their healthy children or be at the only place they want to be, by the bedside of their ill or dying child.
