Homeless Woman’s Life saved by Breast Cancer Angels

On 09/06/18, BCA received a letter from a client that they had saved her life by providing her with housing assistance

LOS ALAMITOS, CALIFORNIA , USA, September 19, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On September 6, 2018 – Breast Cancer Angels recently received a letter from a client indicating that they had saved her life by providing her with housing assistance, a necessity required in order to obtain chemotherapy.

“I am blessed to be alive and to have this opportunity to thank you for your generous and loving financial assistance these past three months,” said the client, who wishes to remain anonymous.

“Becoming homeless was frightening enough, but when I received my breast cancer diagnosis in 2016, I was unable to begin treatment because I didn’t have a place to live. I had to put off my cancer treatment which made things worse, and it wasn’t until a shelter worker was able to place me in shared housing, that I was able to begin chemotherapy. With Breast Cancer Angels’ financial assistance, I was able to continue treatment without the added worry of finding ways to pay rent. Breast Cancer Angels are a true blessing to those they help.”

Breast Cancer Angels is a unique organization that provides direct financial and emotional assistance to breast cancer patients (and their families) in all of Southern California as they undergo breast cancer treatment. Generous volunteers drive patients to appointments, babysit for clients’ children, provide billing and medical office assistance, deliver meals, gifts and more.

“Corporate sponsors pay our overhead which enables us to give 100% of all funds raised, directly to the women and their families in need,” states Debra Stroman, Executive Director of Breast Cancer Angels. “We can honestly tell donors that ALL that they give, goes directly to helping women fighting breast cancer.”

Each year, Breast Cancer Angels’ involvement with more families grows, and they rely on their dedicated sponsors to host fundraisers, golf tournaments and parties to service the needs of their clients.
