NUTRITION
Cook for Your LIFE - cookforyourlife.org
TEACHING HEALTHY COOKING TO PEOPLE TOUCHED
BY CANCER. The American Institute of Cancer
Research estimates that more than 1/3 of the most
common cancers could be prevented through
healthier eating and lifestyles. Since 2007, Cook for
your LIFE has provided in-person and online healthy
cooking classes in English and in Spanish free of
charge. Our mission is to teach the wider cancer
community of patients, caregivers and survivors how
to live better, healthier lives through providing 101
education about healthy food, and by teaching the
basic cooking skills needed to succeed in improving
diet for better overall health outcomes. We really do
teach healthy cooking to people touched by cancer.
Project Angel Heart - projectangelheart.org
Project Angel Heart was founded in 1991 to address a
major challenge for Coloradans who are ill: getting the
nutrition they need to get stronger, heal and remain at
home. Many are too sick to get to the grocery store or
unable to cook for themselves. Others find they have
to choose whether to buy food or medication to make
ends meet.
PEER CONNECTION
Cancer Hope Network -
cancerhopenetwork.org
Cancer Hope Network provides free one-on-one
emotional peer support to adult cancer patients and
their loved ones. Each of CHN's 400+ volunteers is
at least one year post-treatment or successfully
undergoing maintenance therapies. They have
faced more than 80 cancer types and speak 15
languages. Our volunteers offer support from
diagnosis, through treatment and into recovery.
Cancer Hope Network serves cancer patients in the
United States and Canada.
Imerman Angels - imermanangels.org
Sometimes the best therapy is just talking to someone
who's been there. Imerman Angels connects cancer
fighters, survivors, caregivers, and those with cancer
predisposition with " Mentor Angels " - volunteers
who share the same, or similar, experiences. Mentor
Angels provide a chance to ask personal questions
and receive support from a peer who has been down
the same road. The service is absolutely free and
available for those touched by any cancer, at any age,
living anywhere in the world!
Resilientship - resilientship.com/
Resilientship is an online platform that brings together
young women in a one-on-one model who are facing
the unique challenges brought on by a cancer
diagnosis. The process is simple. You share a few
details about yourself with us, and we will work to
find you a match. Once we put you in touch with your
new friend, your Resilientship begins. By walking with
those who are on the same journey as you, our hope
is that your Resilientship serves as a unique source of
strength and that you are empowered by knowing the
fight together is stronger than the fight alone.
Walk with Sally - walkwithsally.org/
Walk With Sally provides hope through our
individualized mentoring and community support
services to empower children experiencing trauma
through a parent, guardian or sibling's cancer journey.
SELF-ADVOCACY
Abridge - abridge.com
Why leave all the details behind when you leave the
doctor's office, or settle for a printed visit summary
that only tells half the story? With the Abridge app,
you record your health care as it happened, so you
can take your doctor's advice home with you. The
app pulls out medically relevant concepts from the
appointments so it's easy to go back and review
the information or share with your loved ones. We
recommend it as a tool everyone should use to help
manage their care.
Caregather - caregather.com/
Caregather is a free website to easily keep your
community of support updated and coordinate their
generosity. With a Caregather, you can share photos
and updates family and friends, indicate which gifts
and support will be most meaningful, and gather joyful
messages all in one place.
