These words remind us how important it is to extend our services out of caring, understanding, and hope. Because a cancer diagnosis turns lives upside down emotionally and financially our clients and their families must deal with the fear of the unknown and the need to redirect their resources. To make matters worse many lack the financial means or insurance to cover the cost of screening, surgery, and treatment. We know that for some hope grows thin. During the months of surgery and treatment the cost of transportation, nutritional drinks, comfort items, and cancer related prescriptions could well exceed the client’s available income. On this site, you can learn about the work we do, the support and educational services available, and how to become a part of a team in serving the community.
