In the effort to beat breast cancer, people and organizations raise funds for research, participate in support groups, and fund treatment for needy patients. Only patients and their families worry about other basic needs such as housing, food, child care or transportation.
Often moderate- to low-income people diagnosed with breast cancer become incapacitated and unable to work and earn an income. Without an income, one cannot pay bills that come due each month. Financial stressors contribute to health stressors, affecting a patient's ability to seek treatment, heal and recover.
Our organization seeks to provide a sense of security from financial hardship and enhance the quality of life for breast cancer patients in treatment
