RESOURCES
Family Reach - familyreach.org
Family Reach is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
dedicated to removing the financial barriers standing
between a cancer patient and their treatment. Loss of
income, out-of-pocket expenses, and socioeconomic
factors create disparities in the financial burdens families
face. Family Reach delivers financial education, financial
planning, resource navigation, and emergency relief funds
to patients and caregivers facing a cancer diagnosis so no
family has to choose between their health and their home.
Triage Cancer - triagecancer.org
Triage Cancer provides education on legal and practical
issues that may impact individuals diagnosed with
cancer and their caregivers. Through free in-person
and online educational events, materials, animated
videos, and state-specific resources, Triage Cancer
provides expert content on issues related to work,
insurance, disability benefits, finances, estate planning,
medical decision making, and more. Triage Cancer also
provides free one-on-one help to assist individuals to
better understand their options and possible next steps
through the Legal & Financial Navigation program, as
well as CancerFinances.org, which helps people navigate
finances after cancer. https://triagecancer.org.
GIFT REGISTRIES

exclusively for cancer patients and their supporters
to make their lives easier. We connect patients and
loved ones through an online collective of products and
services. This is a place to find real, practical relief during
your treatment and recovery-and for your loved ones,
a one-stop shop that answers our all-time most asked
question: " How can we help? " Now you can literally
answer with a link.
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 inperson
and online healthy cooking classes in English and
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.
