We Provide Vital Funding to Community-Based Organizations Helping Cancer Survivors Live Better and Fuller Lives
When you receive a cancer diagnosis you become a cancer survivor for life. In addition to the debilitating effects of treatment and the disease itself, cancer survivors and their caregivers frequently face challenges with their mental, emotional, social, spiritual, and financial health that may endure far beyond diagnosis and treatment. Everything about life can just feel harder. Daily responsibilities from taking care of family and home, paying bills, and transportation to appointments or shopping for groceries can become overwhelming as so much energy becomes focused on dealing with the immediate impacts of the disease and treatment.
Billions of dollars are spent each year on cancer research, early detection and treatment. This is vital work that saves and prolongs lives. Far less is spent in supporting cancer survivors in their daily lives. Research has shown that non-clinical determinants of health can exert a strong influence on outcomes for cancer survivors. Addressing these factors is critical for improving health and care outcomes. Frequently, assistance with transportation, addressing financial hardship, and creating awareness of and access to services that help cancer survivors focus on their health and being well are provided by community-based organizations.
The Cancierge Foundation is here to help. Like so many of you, we too, have had a spouse, mother, father, and other family members and friends impacted by cancer. We have witnessed first hand just how drastically a cancer diagnosis changes people’s lives and we have dedicated ourselves to ensuring that those community-based organizations doing the critical work of providing support to cancer survivors in need can reach as many people as possible.
Our mission is simple: we raise and distribute funding to help organizations dedicated to positively impacting cancer care outcomes and making the lives of cancer survivors and their caregivers better. Please consider making a donation today.
