I'm raising money for Sue's Gift - Gynecologic Cancer Support

I am raising money for Sue's Gift - Gynecologic Cancer Support. Sue's Gift provides financial and emotional support for women with gynecologic cancers in Colorado. Your support is vital. Sue's Gift has assisted more women in 2020 than ever before, and the year is not over yet! The demand for services has increased as more Coloradoans feel the effects of the global pandemic. You can help today by donating and supporting women through this crisis.

Description

When cancer hits below the belt, we're here to help! Sue’s Gift provides support for Colorado women diagnosed with gynecologic cancer. 

The Sue’s Gift Financial Assistance program provides stability, security and hope to women and their families during treatment.  Cancer is expensive. Cancer patients often feel overwhelmed when the bills start coming in. One recipient said “Sue’s Gift helped me when I needed it most. I am not sure what I would have done without it.  It’s nice to know that there are people who help, with kindness and compassion.” This vital program helps ease the financial burden of cancer so women can focus on healing.  

The Woman to Woman program trains and empowers survivors, one-year post treatment, to mentor a newly diagnosed patient with the same cancer type. Colorado has many rural areas, not every cancer patient can make it to a monthly support group. This program ensures that women needing emotional support after a cancer diagnoses can receive that critical support, regardless of her ability to attend a traditional cancer support group.  To see the road ahead, ask those coming back.  Woman to Woman allows newly diagnosed patients to talk one on one with a woman who has been there.  

Sue’s Gift also provides “Teal Good Bags” (chemo comfort bags) to newly diagnosed patients, Integrative therapy classes, survivorship celebrations and a sense of community for women and their families/caregivers who have been affected by gynecologic cancer.
