“Good morning Roberta, shortly after I was approved for your grant in May, I was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer the following month. I just completed chemotherapy and will be having a mastectomy on the 23rd. I had no idea this was coming and can't imagine the difference not receiving this grant would have made. Not having to worry about paying rent helped reduce the stress of the added medical expenses, gas, and rising grocery costs. I was able to manage chemotherapy and back-to-school without a hitch. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I am so grateful that your experience led you to create such a wonderful foundation to help families like mine. The lack of stress gave me the patience and grace to truly be present and help my son work through his anxiety and fear related to my recent diagnosis. Your help is invaluable and inspirational. I hope that I may one day pay it forward and be a blessing to someone else having this experience. With love,”

— Latoya

“This is beyond kind and I am just beaming!!!!! The stress and anxiety this has relieved from my plate so I can focus my energy on my girls and my health is priceless!!!!! Thank you soooooooo much! I am speechless at this point. I’ve always been a giver to those around me so it is strange to be on the receiving end of such kindness. Thank you for providing this to us. Actually thinking about your death is the most surreal experience. Having cancer is like walking a tightrope with good news and life on one side and bad news and death on the other. It’s constantly toggling between the two. I appreciate your kindness more than you will ever know.”

When I was diagnosed with MBC, I had to stop working a second job and that has been life changing for us. I also struggle with asking for help because I’m so used to managing things on my own and suffering in silence. In this season, God has reminded me that I am not alone AND that help is available. I cannot thank you enough for your support! Please know that it is truly life changing!”
