My Sister's House is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving Asian, Pacific Islander, and other underserved women and children affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. It provides a culturally responsive safe haven, job training, and community services tailored to their needs. Li Family Charitable Foundation sponsored their Run For A Safe Haven on October 26, 2024 and on October 25, 2025. We hope to continue to lift up women and children in the Greater Sacramento area who have been affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. We also seek to encourage victims to come forward and to become survivors who rebuild their lives free from physical or sexual harm.
Donation to Wong-Tran Family For Brain Cancer Treatment & Medical Care
In November of 2024, 12 year old Darren Wong-Tran was diagnosed with medullablastoma, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer. With mounting medical costs, his mother Nancy Wong spoke to Executive Director Jacqueline Cheung and applied for a medical needs grant. Li Family Charitable Foundation worked with iYa Taekwondo and created a GoFundMe. Jacqueline personally orchestrated the fundraising campaign and created a flyer. From November 25 through December 25, 2024 all funds from the GoFundMe and sent to Nancy Wong's Venmo were matched, dollar for dollar by Li Family Charitable Foundation.
Li Family Charitable Foundation will continue to help manage the GoFundMe for the Wong-Tran family even after the matching period is over. On July 27, 2025 we held a thank you party to thank everyone who has supported Darren Wong-Tran's cancer fight.
Li Family Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program
In 2025, we have created a Li Family Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program. Li Family Charitable Foundation obtained $25,000 in grant funding from Sierra Health Foundation and the California Funders For Men & Boys of Color. We are partnering with the Sacramento Region Community Foundation to orchestrate this Li Family Charitable Foundation Scholarship Program. 8 scholarships of $3000 each will be given out. This program is designed to help disadvantaged or marginalized individuals attain a university or post secondary degree. In particular, we hope to give disadvantaged but promising young people a chance to attain a higher education. A few examples of disadvantaged youth would include the children of immigrants, those who would be the first in their family to attend university, individuals whose parents make at or below 185% of federal poverty level, teen parents, orphans or children from a one parent household, children whose parents are currently incarcerated, and children who are actively fighting or who have dealt with a life changing illness or situation such as cancer. By giving young people who may be disadvantaged a scholarship to attend a university, we hope to uplift their lives and their families as a whole.
