What We Do
We’ve adopted a customized approach to provide each family with the support that is most needed for their circumstances.

Some examples of our work in the first two years include:

- Donated thousands of dollars in gas, grocery and Visa cards to cancer patients
- Coordinated volunteer transportation for patients receiving repeated treatments in other towns
- Arranged for a construction crew to finish a remodeling project for a hospice family
- Coordinated volunteers to provide manicures and hair styling services for cancer patients
- Connected volunteer visitors with cancer patient
- Sponsored Celebration of Life parties
- Purchased winter gear for the children of a family living with cancer
- Offered family photography sessions for cancer families
