What do we offer?
Education
Our Education Hub features information, articles, videos, and blogs on topics that a patient, survivor, or caregiver may need to know (or not even realize they need to know!) Visit our Education Hub for more information.
Health and Wellness Information
We provide special Live Workshops in the form of zooms, facebook lives, and YouTube videos on important topics like intimacy & cancer, gratitude journaling, and stress management. Find us on our social media!
Financial Assistance for Medical Expenses
We have a Financial Assistance Program which is currently for patients and survivors residing in Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties. Our program focuses on patients who make just above the cutoff for most other financial assistance programs but who still struggle to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. We've provided over $1000,000 in financial assistance in our short 4 years! We also provide financial navigation services, helping patients identify other sources of financial support from other local, regional, and national programs.
Support Items
We provide patients with breast prosthetics, mastectomy bras, post-surgical clothing, port and post-surgical pillows, shower lanyards, caps/hats/scarves, a wide variety of cancer-related publications and educational handouts, and our wig shop. We also offer a variety of moisturizers and lip balms to help with dryness from treatment.
Care Bags
We also provide Care Bags to newly diagnosed patients packed full of useful items and educational materials they will need as they go through treatment and into survivorship. Fantastic teams of volunteers pack the bags for us and we deliver them to local surgical oncologists such as the Zimmer Cancer Center, Wilmington Health, and Wilmington Surgical Associates who provide them directly to newly diagnosed patients when they are diagnosed. This helps to ensure that patients get the items and information they'll need along the way, right as they begin their breast cancer journey.
“The [care] bags are a huge hit and a mood booster!”
