Breast Cancer Angels Breast Cancer Angels provides gift cards to the market of the clients’ choice; the dollar amount depends on family size and need (average of $250 per family per month). The current need is $18,000 monthly. HOUSING NEEDS Breast Cancer Angels assists with emergency housing costs. We may pay the security deposit and the first months rent to assist women who have become homeless due to breast cancer treatment. We are also the only group that assists with monthly (up to $500 per month) housing costs for women in treatment for long-term metastatic breast cancer. Our goal is to keep women from being homeless and alone while they fight their breast cancer battle. MEDICAL CO-PAYS & COBRA COSTS We provide this aid as needed. We do not want to see women lose their insurance in the middle of treatment or not be able to get their prescriptions filled. HOME HEALTH CARE & FINAL EXPENSE We pay for short-term home health care as needed. We also assist with final expenses. SECOND OPINION FUND Jerry & Patti Walsh established a Second Opinion Fund with us, in memory of their daughter, Dayna. We have assisted 18 women in getting an expert second opinion, which improves their chance of survival.
