›› Programs: During Chemotherapy Buddy Program This program provides young breast cancer patients with a volunteer to be their buddy through treatment. Based on what the patient and volunteer agree on, the volunteer can offer virtual support via emails and calls, or based on location, spend time with the patient, call to check in, run errands, etc. The goal is to make sure that the patient has companionship, support, and know that they are cared for. To get a Chemo Buddy, fill out this form in its entirety. Someone from our organization will contact you within 72 hours.” Buddy Bags We would like to thank Sundial Creations for sponsoring our Buddy Bag Program for the entire year! Their support will enable us to send blankets, bags and be able to touch 50 young women this year. We also thank My Pink Scarf for donating all the scarves that go into our buddy bag! Funds for Families © Often, families don't anticipate plan for crises such as breast cancer. Even in instances where families have insurance, there are often a multitude of related costs that leave them in a financial bind. There are also instances where a patient has such low income that she has to make a choice between seeking medical attention that could save her life, paying for medication that would make the treatment more bearable or paying bills. When facing a life threatening challenge such as breast cancer, finances should be the least of one's problems. The Funds for Families program gives financial assistance to families based on their need.
The limit for funding is $500 per individual within a yearly period. Due to the demand for services, the waiting period for funds is approximately 90 days. To be eligible, the breast cancer patient must be under the age of 40 at time of diagnosis. Funding is limited, therefore, not guaranteed; however, we work diligently to meet as many requests as possible. To Apply:
Fax in the completed Funds for Families Form, along with copies of the bills that you need help with. The fax number is on the application.
