My best friend Kathy suffered from breast cancer for almost two years and then lost her battle.
It was because of all of us coming together to help that we realized how lucky she was and we are to have that kind
of support. One group of friends gave money for a cleaning lady, the friends from her son's school made dinner everynight,
People gave gift certificates for meals out, and for her transportation needs her father, my sister, my mother
her sister in law, and her cousin and I all took her to her doctors apt's and for her testing. I would go in on weekends
and run errands, food shopping and just to keep her company and let her husband get out for a little while we called it "Girls
Night". Right then and there I started looking into starting a foundation to help people who were not as lucky,
whose fight was harder because of their finances or lack of family support..
This foundation was started to help people with their battle while fighting Cancer. We will look at each case individually
and see what is needed.
So far we have helped several women, each one having different needs. Two women could not afford
to pay for their homcare so we gave them 1,000 each, another women needed a medical test but had no Insurance so we payed
for the test. Another women had different needs, she has cancer that has metatasized and she needed medical
bills paid and also lost her computer ,so one our our supporters bought her a new computer along with that a digital
camera. We will be helping her on an ongoing basis. We are now going to start helping a women who needs help with
her co-pays while on chemo. Everyone is different.
We are all about helping people and making things a little easier for them. They have enough to fight for
already
