As a Registered nurse, I directly see the challenges of patient’s, their caregivers, and families, especially when there is new unforeseen diagnosis. Acute and long term illness often leads to a heavy and rapid financial crisis. There are many who do not have the physical or financial support of others to get through their day to day.
In the field of Oncology, I work directly with many patient’s diagnosed with breast cancer. I have seen and further understood many walks of the journey from the time of diagnosis and treatment to simply trying to mentally and physically survive each day. Patient’s are not only fighting for their health, but also to financially care for their dependents, to have adequate resources for everyday needs, and even their home when facing displacement.
I came across PINK AID, while researching resources for my patient’s as I would often find in a crisis and never with enough resources or support to get through. Pink Aid is a non-profit organization founded by an Oncology Nurse, that provides a leu of informational resources and emergency financial aid for every stage of breast cancer.
Unity with community to further support organizations helping those in crisis. Continue to share and support where one can. Sharing your knowledge also provides power to those that are feeling hopeless. Through ever journey is a story. Continue to share to uplift community.
