Friends Helping Friends

Friends Helping Friends Friends Helping Friends program provides non-clinical support to eligible women undergoing breast cancer treatment to promote healing and recovery.

"I was overwhelmed at receiving the food gift card of $75.00 and gas card of $25.00. These gifts were heartwarming and allowed me to see that there are people in the world that care when you are in crisis. I feel that with care and concern the battle is easier and recovery comes faster."

Some examples of services are reimbursements for: transportation costs to and from radiation and chemotherapy treatments, bras and breast prostheses, wigs and hair alternatives, and other services not met by the healthcare or insurance providers at the discretion of the Friends Helping Friends Committee (such as counseling for end of life issues).
