A Metastatic Breast Cancer Diagnosis Is Devastating
No matter where you are in life, this diagnosis changes everything. Can you imagine being a young woman dreaming of starting a family and then receiving this diagnosis? Can you imagine raising your children and struggling to meet your bills each month because you will be in treatment for the rest of your life? Who do you turn to for help?
Our mission is to support young women living with Metastatic Breast Cancer by providing financial assistance for basic human needs, emotional support for coping with the many challenges of the disease and patient navigation services to give them a better quality of life.
Financial Support
MBC occurs when breast cancer spreads from the breast to another part of the body (usually, the bones, liver, lung and/or brain). There is no cure for MBC, it is terminal, and research teams have projected that the number of people living with MBC will increase nearly fifty percent (50%) over the next ten years! The costs for women living with metastatic disease are enormous, as they will be in treatment for the rest of their lives.
Some women have to choose between prolonging their life through treatment or ending treatment to save their families from financial disaster. Infinite Strength provides financial support to young women in financial need living with Metastatic Breast Cancer and residing in the following states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.
In addition to providing Basic Human Needs Grants, we offer emotional support for families through events we host throughout the year, and patient resource navigation services.
“Roberta, The words thank you and your genuine support and shoulder to lean and cry on is beyond inspiration... so much love... I thank you because I don’t hold it alone... thank you for being with me. I truly needed the assistance and beyond and sometimes when someone like yourself jumps in it helps beyond words.” — Quiana
In loving memory of Quiana who passed away leaving behind her 10 year old son and two elderly, unwell parents.
