A nonprofit 501C3 support group of breast cancer survivors and our supporters, we take pride in offering various types of support. We are dedicated to serving the needs of our fellow survivors, their family members and anyone who has been affected by cancer.

 

Breast cancer is a disease that has had a profound impact on survivors, their families and the public.  Recognizing that the need for support, education and care extends beyond medical intervention for those diagnosed with the disease, a group of survivors who experienced firsthand the gap that exists for survivors and their families, came together in 2011 to establish Angels Surviving Cancer, Inc. (Angels)  501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to enlighten, educate and address real needs for those affected by breast cancer.  Angel is committed to educating the public on the importance of assisting breast cancer survivors with all of their needs—be it financial, spiritual, and emotional  minimizing depression, anxiety, improving their moods and overall . Angels UP (Uplifting People) is an Counseling Program  Angels provide those facing cancer with a  sense of control over their situation, by assisting them with maintaining their quality of life and developing coping mechanisms in the face of cancer.  Instead of using a clinical approach, Angels are committed to a grassroots effort that fosters personal attention and provides care to both the patient and their families.

 

  Angels Surviving Cancer, Inc. provides services through a  approach—1) Angel Education and Outreach; 2) CARE (CANCER AWARENESS RESOURCE ENCOURAGEMENT ) and 3) the Angel Network.  The Angel Education and Outreach program provides opportunities for the organization to raise awareness about all aspects of breast cancer.  The primary objectives of the organization’s outreach and educational programs are to: 1) enlighten and educate the public on the importance of breast cancer education; 2) to increase breast cancer education and reduce cultural barriers for under-served, minority women and 3) to increase breast cancer screening rates in the Houston Metropolitan area.

 

  CARE  provides services to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer who are facing financial challenges. This program provides resources and referrals of financial assistance for items including (but not limited to):  lodging, medical , office visits and prostheses (as funds are available) based on an application process.  The CARE program is funded and supported through a network of collaborative partners; grant funding, fundraisers, donations and support.

​

The Angel Network provides support, networking and collaboration opportunities for survivors, their families and friends.  Within this Network, real life “angels” provide  care to those who are undergoing breast cancer treatment.  Angels not only serve the patient, but are also a source of support for the families in any way possible.  When hearing what is perhaps the most dreaded news about a loved one—“You have cancer”---information, sound, concrete, and simple answers to questions can make a world of difference.  Having someone there to provide a shoulder to lean on; or offer a cooked meal; or even to assist with navigating the maze of insurance, financial, and medical concerns is, to a grieving and  family—an Angel.

​

            Angels Surviving Cancer, Inc., is a true example of a nonprofit organization born out of a passion and a purpose brought on as a result of firsthand experience.  Because of their experiences as survivors of breast cancer and the gap in services that they discovered in their journey, a group of dedicated women made the courageous decision to take on the responsibility to become advocates—or Angels—for other survivors and dedicate themselves to ensuring that future survivors and their families would have the support, resources, and education that were lacking when they went through the experience.  Because of their dedication, breast cancer survivors, their families and those who are diagnosed with the disease can breathe a bit easier knowing that they are not alone in their fight—because they have an Angel and Advocate in their midst.  The organization is seeking partners, supporters and contributions to fund the expansion of its programs and initiatives as outlined in its full proposal for funding support.  Please join with us in our quest to expand our network of Angels Surviving Cancer.
