Mission
Our mission is to empower and transform the lives of young breast cancer survivors who have undergone cancer treatment and/or mastectomy. We focus on rebuilding self-image and self-esteem while creating opportunities for wellness. It is also our goal to promote public awareness and early breast cancer detection in all women.
  
Description
We provide free services to breast cancer patients going through treatment, in recovery and survivors. Our focus is to provide assistance that will allow them to concentrate on healing and less on life's stresses. Services includes ride to treatments, drop-off and pick-up of prescriptions, household cleaning, workshops, support groups and in-home counseling.
  
Key Facts
Target demographics:
We serve low-income breast cancer patients and survivors in the south Florida area. We assist patients of all ages, however, we focus on patients under the age of 45 as this population is increasingly being diagnosed.

      
Someone who had 3 hours of volunteer time could:
Spend time driving patients to treatment, handle household cleaning for a cancer patient, assist with fundraisig events, assist with administrative work in our office.  Your time could make a huge impact in a cancer patient's life.
        
What your donation will allow us to do:
Continue to provide free transportation for low income patients as well as fund many of our initiatives.
