OUR STORY
A VISION TO PROVIDE ALL BREAST CANCER PATIENTS WITH SUPPORT & DIGNITY.
In 2011, Pink Aid was founded by four individuals, all of whom are very active in the organization today. Each Founder was touched by breast cancer in a different way, but all saw a void in providing compassionate resources to vulnerable, financially insecure patients battling breast cancer. Other organizations exist to fund the important research needed to eradicate breast cancer, but Pink Aid is unique.
The very essence of its mission is to help underserved individuals get through treatment with compassion, dignity and their households intact, while also serving to empower survivors of every socioeconomic level to heal by helping and inspiring others.
They believed:
Outreach and education about the critical importance of breast health and screening should be available to all
Breast cancer screening, from basic mammograms through advanced diagnostic testing should be available to all
Wigs, breast cancer recovery garments and cold cap therapy should be available to all
Wellness programs and counseling to help patients endure treatment
should be available to allThe ability to pay for basic household essentials, including rent, utilities, food and transportation to treatment should be available to all
They wanted to help breast cancer patients preserve their dignity, feel supported by the community, and empower them to help and inspire and those who come after.
Breast cancer is debilitating. Physically. Emotionally. Financially. Pink Aid provides critical financial assistance and services to help families survive treatment with support and dignity.
