Hi....I have breast cancer but rather than sit back and feel sorry for myself, I've decided to do something to help other women with similar diagnoses. As we all know, this is a frustrating disease and one that affects every one of our families in one way or another. Your wife, your daughter, your mother, your aunt, etc.
I'm writing here to find some help in filling and distributing care packages to women with breast cancer. While I am traveling down my own "pink chapter" as I refer to it, I found there were things I needed to be organized and things that were just comforting and I wanted to save other women from having to search out these things and buying them. As we can see from posts on this site alone, insurance is a big problem, so are daily living expenses and while I don't ask for myself for those things (even tho I'm in the same situation as many in that regard), I am asking for donations to help me fill these care packages for women.
If you want more information, or wish to see my photo, please look at the website I've started toward this effort of giving. You'll find it at www.columbuspinkgive.com .
Please help me fill these care packages and provide whatever little comfort I can to cancer diagnosed women.
