Mission Statement

The rising cost of cancer treatment is causing a whopping financial crisis to families, and many are left in debts with no hope of betterment. In recent years, the people suffering from cancer-related tumors and diseases have more than doubled, forcing organization and NGO's to offer assistance and help to those in need. Recent trends and behavior towards cancer suggest that people having effective treatment in hospitals for cancer have borrowed money from family or friends, experience accumulation of debt along with a decline in income. Cancer, in no doubt, pushes thousands of people of each year to bankruptcy and such situation can further cause psychological damage and illness to the already suffering individuals.

About This Cause

The purpose of this organization is to provide support and comfort through a very difficult time. We employ a direct and personal approach, recognizing that each individual has his unique journey and perspective. Additionally, we provide moral and psychological support to their caregivers and family members who are affected by the disease. We are sensitive to the fact some of us are tough in the face of the myriad of challenges, and some are fragile, and most are somewhere in between. Consequently, we strive to tailor our involvement in a way that best suits each individual's needs. Our staff is thoroughly trained to recognize the range and variation of each individuals' "journey" in our effort to achieve optimal results. We work with doulas, who embrace their task with strength and sensitivity.
