Breast cancer hits everyone hard financially, but some studies have shown that women with a lower socioeconomic status are more than twice as likely to delay breast cancer treatments after diagnosis. We believe that a patient’s financial situation should never cause her to stop or even delay treatment. Help defray the cost of breast cancer by providing a gift card for a local patient in treatment.
“Before I traveled to my MRI appointment in Fairfax, about 1&1/2 hrs from home I was sent a gas gift card. I couldn’t believe the thoughtfulness of that. What a kind gesture. These words are few but the appreciation is great! A ray of hope during a very scary time… Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. I do believe my life will change forever (for the good) I hope & thank you for being a part of the goodness!”
