At Rise Above Cancer Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting cancer patients, survivors and their families in meaningful ways. While we strive to provide assistance through our programs, the availability of support depends on funding, donations and resources. Our goal is to help as many people as possible, ensuring no one feels alone in their journey.
We recognize that hair loss can be an emotional challenge for many undergoing treatment. Whenever possible, we provide wigs, scarves and caps to help patients feel more comfortable and confident. We will do our best to provide these items based on the resources available to us.
We understand the financial and logistical challenges cancer patients face. To help with these burdens, we offer financial assistance for medical expenses such as treatment, medications and diagnostics. Additionally, we provide transportation support to help patients attend medical appointments. Through partnerships with rideshare services and community volunteers, we aim to ensure patients can reach their care without added stress. Availability of support may vary depending on location and resources.
Good nutrition plays a vital role in the well-being of cancer patients. Subject to available resources, we aim to provide organic, nutrient-rich food hampers designed to meet the dietary needs of those undergoing treatment. We also offer guidance on maintaining a balanced diet to support recovery.
No one should have to face cancer alone. Our Resilience Circles provide a safe and open space where individuals can share their experiences, receive support and find strength in a community that truly understands.
The Fighter’s Circle – A supportive space for those currently undergoing treatment. Here, fighters can connect with others on the same journey, share their struggles and victories, and receive encouragement from those who understand the emotional and physical challenges of treatment. This circle also offers mentorship, wellness workshops and practical guidance to help navigate the fight against cancer.
The Survivor’s Circle – Life after cancer comes with its own unique challenges. This circle provides a safe space for survivors to share their experiences, support one another and find guidance on navigating life beyond treatment. Through mentorship and workshops, survivors can learn how to adjust to new normals, rebuild confidence and embrace life after cancer.
Together, these circles create a compassionate, judgment-free community where no one has to walk this journey alone.
We understand that cancer affects not just the patient but also their loved ones. Our Family First Program aims to provide counseling, support groups and educational resources for caregivers and families, subject to available resources and funding.
