OUR CANCER KINSHIP STORY - Click here to watch our Cancer Kinship Story.
Hi, my name is Yoli and I'm a 14-year Stage 3 breast cancer survivor. I'm also the Executive Director and Founder of Cancer Kinship. I'm coming to you today as someone with a unique understanding of cancer patient and survivor needs. Not only did I fight my own cancer battle, but I also experienced cancer in two very personal ways: as a 10-year old child whose mother valiantly battled metastatic breast cancer and most recently, my sister battled metastatic breast cancer as well. My personal cancer experience, along with serving as a patient mentor for newly diagnosed patients at my cancer center opened my eyes to the many emotional and psychosocial challenges experienced by cancer patients that impact their quality of life and long-term health outcomes. After losing my mother and sister to metastatic breast cancer, and after processing my own grief, I found my purpose in life and made the decision to develop Cancer Kinship to address the mental health and emotional challenges experienced by cancer patients.
Cancer Kinship's Commitment to Support the Cancer Community
Cancer Kinship's programs were launched just five month prior to the COVID shut-downs. Last April, we made a strategic decision to move our mission forward and transition all programs online. By helping our clients connect with resources to address food insecurity and homelessness prevention through our community resource navigation services and with individualized and group emotional support, we helped improve the quality of life of our clients and removed barriers that will undoubtedly improve health outcomes.
Fundraising Amid the Pandemic.
Last year, we relied heavily on our nonprofit partners and community to help us move our mission forward. COVID-relief has been primarily focused on greatly needed community safety net programs such as local food banks and housing programs. However, despite many challenges and setbacks due to cancelled fundraising events and limited funding to support our cancer programs, we reached many important milestones that enabled us to grow. With help from our community, we will continue to thrive and grow this year. We are grateful for your gift consideration and support.
