Susan G Komen for the Cure


Hi everyone! I've been researching different charities online that might be helpful to some of you. While searching I came across a charity that is very special to me.
The name of this charity is the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity. This is a charity which has been useful to me after my mom was diagnosed with breast and, colon cancer a couple years ago.She was able to have both cancers removed during an operation, and she then had to have radiation therapy.
A year later my mom had just been laid off from work and had no health insurance. It was time for her yearly check up for recurring any recurring breast or colon cancer. I reached out to Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation after researching different charities online to see if there was anything they could do. They were very helpful, and not only gave me support, but they were also willing to answer any questions i had.
They also gave me the great advice of getting in touch with a local hospital in my area, and they were able to perform the cancer checkup test on my mom for no charge because she qualified for the hospitals financial assistance plan. Her breast exam came back negative, and we are still waiting for the results of her colon exam.
By reaching out to this particular charity i was able to help my mom receive the care that she needed.
