CARE IMPACT:
“When an individual hears the words, “You have cancer” everything in their life comes to a roaring stop. Fear and
anxiety take over and not only for the person with the diagnosis, but for their whole family. People handle this hard
time differently, but most, after a period, start looking into what their options are and where their supports might be.
That is where CARE comes in. We are not about cancer research or medical care – there are many very fine
organizations committed to research and medicine and they are doing incredible work. But, for the individual and
family dealing right here, right now, with the reality of cancer, we offer ‘hands on’ support. Things like financial
assistance with utilities, groceries and transportation costs. We can connect them to community resources and
information.
And, we are there with them – we can be their ears and eyes and sometimes their voice by acting as an advocate.
We are with them for as long as they need us and our services and support are at no cost to the cancer patient or
their family. That is where you come in – your support is how we can support them. Your donations go directly to
help our clients in need as we are all working as volunteers at this time. Your donations stay in our community –
our area of service is Doña Ana County.
Almost all of us have been or will be touched by cancer in our lives. Someone we know and care about or even
ourselves will hear those very hard words, “you have cancer”. Our goal at CARE is to be sure that no one has to
struggle with the necessities of life during that time. Our goal at CARE is to ensure that while families are dealing
with cancer they have dignity, and as much strength and courage as we can help provide.”
