Our Programs
Fueled by Hope

- Monthly contact to continue to assess your needs, answer questions, and offer support during treatment.
Emergency Financial Assistance
- Each member has access to up to $500 in emergency assistance for the duration of their treatment journey
- Example of emergency assistance: car repairs, utilities, rent.
Building Connection & Community
- Support Meetings monthly, to offset the isolation our members feel having a cancer diagnosis during a global pandemic
Wig Assistance

Hair loss during cancer treatment is a traumatic process, and we try to make that process a little less tragic for our ladies
-
Often times, after diagnosis, the first questions our medical teams hear is "will I lose my hair"
- It is NOT just hair!

What Cancer Can't Do
Author Unknown
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the Spirit,
It cannot lessen the power
of the resurrection.
