Moms with Cancer

We currently serve two children whose mothers have recently been diagnosed with cancer. Both mothers are single parents and are currently hospitalized. Neither woman has health insurance. One of women was informed at hospital that had she waited much longer she would have died. The other woman was told that following her treatments she would need to take a medication that costs $2,000 for one prescription. Joint efforts have found funds for one prescription, but the woman worries what will happen if she needs additional prescriptions. Both will unlikely be able to return to work anytime in the near future.

If you are interested in learning more about how you can help these mothers in their battle against cancer, please contact our Director of Family Support Services, Blanca Leyva at 703-836-0214.
