The Need
One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, the second leading cause of cancer death among women. A very real, but often not discussed side effect of a life-threatening diagnosis is the financial burden and emotional impact. Support Sisterz’ programs are designed to help women achieve improved financial and emotional stability during a time of fear and turmoil. With your support, the Support Sisterz can help pay medical bills, co-payments, prescriptions, second opinions during active treatment and provide basic necessities such as gift cards towards gas, groceries, household items, and food delivery services.
