Survivor Friendly Foundation

Our Mission: Empowering Cancer Survivors for Brighter Future 

At Survivor Friendly Foundation, we are on a mission to transform the lives of cancer survivors. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to providing essential items, support, and resources to those who have triumphed over cancer. We understand that the journey doesn’t end with treatment; in fact, it’s a new beginning that comes with its own set of challenges.

Commitment: Bridging the Gap

Many cancer survivors face an uphill battle in accessing vital items like prostheses, wigs, and tools for managing side effects such as lymphedema, intimacy-related issues, and concerns about the future. Despite being necessary for their well-being, these items are often considered cosmetic by insurance providers. This combined with the lack of nearby mastectomy shops and insurance coverage creates a barrier that many survivors find insurmountable.

That’s where Survivor Friendly Foundation steps in. We are committed to helping the uninsured or under-insured that no survivor is left without the essential resources they need to regain their confidence, manage their recovery, and enhance their quality of life. We bridge the gap by providing these items for free to those who need them the most.

Improving the Quality of Life 

We firmly believe that every cancer survivor deserves the chance to thrive and live their best life. Our foundation is built on the principle that survivors should have access to tools, resources, and support that enable them to flourish in their post-cancer journey. In addition to providing physical resources, we actively promote breast health education and self-checks, emphasizing the importance of early detection in improving outcomes and saving lives.

Informed Choices for a Brighter Tomorrow:

One crucial aspect of our mission is to empower women with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their treatment options. Our free consultation services specialize in guiding women through the complex decision-making process, particularly in terms of choosing between reconstruction and prosthesis. We firmly believe that every woman deserves access to comprehensive information before making such a significant decision, and we are here to guide and support them every step of the way.

Inspired by Experience:

Our founder, Jacqueline Cromity, is a cancer survivor herself. She intimately understands the physical and emotional changes that accompany cancer treatment. Her personal journey led her to create an emblem that businesses can proudly display to signify their awareness of cancer symptoms and their commitment to being “Survivor Friendly.” This emblem serves as a beacon of hope and understanding for those who have walked the path of cancer.

At Survivor Friendly Foundation, we are not only dedicated to helping survivors conquer “The Cliff” of post-treatment uncertainty but also to guiding them towards a brighter, more empowered future. Together, we stand as a community of support, resourcefulness, and resilience. Join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of cancer survivors.
