Resources

“Sometimes it takes an act of courage to not give up, to still show up, and to keep your faith, even when life seems impossible.”

— Fannie Lou Hamer

We know that the journey doesn’t stop after treatment. Here are some trusted resources for mental and financial health support for survivors and their families.

Ubuntu Circle Of Support

Ubuntu – “I am because you are.”

This tool will help you identify people in your life who will provide support throughout your breast cancer journey. Some will be more intricately involved than others, and that’s ok. That’s the beauty of Ubuntu: we are all different, yet we are all connected.
