You
Are NOT Alone!
In
2006, the PBCC shipped 534
Friends Like Me™ care
packages to Pennsylvania
women newly-diagnosed with
breast cancer. The packages
are filled with
informational brochures,
books, and donated cosmetics
and gift items, and are
provided at absolutely no
cost to the woman.
Recently, we surveyed
package recipients. One of
our questions was "What did
receiving the Friends Like
Me™ care package mean to
you?" An overwhelming
majority of respondents told
us that it was reassuring to
know they were not alone.
Gerry of Prospect, PA wrote
"Being told I had breast
cancer was terrifying. But
when I saw how many people
were there to reach out to
me in my hour of need, it
was awesome. The care
package put a smile on my
face and everything in it
was useful." Raemarie from
Erie said, “It provided me
with information I wasn’t
aware of. It also showed me
I am definitely not alone in
this.”
Help
us to show these women that
they indeed are not alone!
