The purpose is to provide non-medical financial assistance for women in treatment of breast, ovarian, and other gynecological cancers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Over the past 13 years we were able to provide non-medical financial support for over 900 women.With our support many of these women were able to stay in their home, pay their utilities and feed their families. Going through treatmentfor cancer is challenging and our support gave these women extra support making a challenging situation a little bit easier.
