Helene Foundation

Two weeks ago we introduced you to Felicia. Today we want to share one more piece of her story. 💜

When a mom is fighting cancer, it's not just her life that gets turned upside down. It's her kids' lives too.

For Felicia's son, that could have meant giving up the soccer season he loved. The club fees. The team fees. The uniform kit. All of it feels impossible when you're just trying to keep the lights on and get to your next treatment.

So the Helene Foundation stepped in. We covered his club and team fees and bought his full uniform kit, so he could keep showing up for his team while his mom showed up for her health.

Because a kid shouldn't have to sit out the season his mom is fighting cancer. He should get to just be a kid.

That's the kind of NOW we work for. And a small donation makes it possible.

Will you give today? 💜 helenefoundation.org

Today is National Cancer Survivor Day. 💜

To every woman who has heard the words 'you have cancer' and kept going - for her kids, for herself, for the people who love her - today is for you.

Survivorship looks different for everyone. For the moms in our program, it means fighting through treatment while still showing up as a parent every single day. It means choosing to go to chemo even when it's hard. It means letting people help.

We are in awe of every single one of you.

If you know a mom currently in active treatment at a Triangle-area facility with children at home, please share our information with her. We're here. Right now. 💜
