How We Help
Working with the hospitals in Portsmouth, Exeter,
Dover, York and the Cancer Care Center of York
County, we provide the
following to patients right here in the Greater Seacoast
NH/ME area:
- Gas cards, dinner gift
certificates and movie passes through our
Hope Chest Program
- Assistance with household needs
(cleaning, groceries, repairs)
- New Patient Gift Bags that include
Breast
Cancer Journey Planners, scarves,
relaxation CDs and other comforting gifts
- Children's books that help them to
better cope as their parent goes through
breast cancer
- Travel scholarships to breast cancer
conferences and retreats
- Outings that bring local patients
together
- A social networking website called
Seacoast Breast Cancer Connection where
seacoast area patients can connect with
other local patients outside of their own
treating hospital
- Support Pals willing to
talk with a patient or even sit with them
during a treatment
We will even fulfill a last wish ...
And the
BreastCancerStories.org
website continues to be a
comforting way for a patient to read, write and share
their story with loved ones and with one another.
We also remain so very thankful to the individuals
and organizations who donated gifts and services to the
patients as well! See a list of those
who have
helped!
