We raise money to help cancer patients who cannot afford their day-to-day living expenses during treatment. Often our assistance is on a one-time emergency basis, sometimes while patients wait for disability or insurance payments to begin. We offer help with things such as rent, mortgage, utilities, groceries, and transportation and parking expenses at treatment facilities. These individuals are referred to us by healthcare professionals, community organizations, and by word of mouth, often from one of our supporters. We have provided financial assistance to a number of individuals who had nowhere else to turn for help.
The Roman column in our logo symbolizes Gene's strong character and strength in his battle with cancer and represents the support one can find from family and friends. The bright sun symbolizes the hope that is within all of us. It also reminds us that a life-threatening illness makes on appreciate everything more - the sun shines brighter, the grass is greener, etc. The rays coming off the sun symbolize the family's outreach to others.
