Easter Program 2020 Cancelled

It is with great disappointment that we announce the Breathing Room Spring/Easter Program has been cancelled due to the coronavirus. It seems wise during this time of uncertainty to limit the in person contact between our Breathing Room volunteers and the families we serve. 

 Personal contact has been made with the Breathing Room families to let them know we will not deliver Spring/Easter baskets to their children in April. This thank you note reminds us just how important our personalized support is for our Breathing Room families living with cancer every day.

 “Thank you so much for including our family in the Spring/Easter program.  We are so lucky to have the Breathing Room in our lives.  We have received incredible help from your foundation over Thanksgiving and Christmas and now Easter.  I can’t tell you how helpful and meaningful it is to me, a mom with cancer, that you are taking care of my family. You are not just lessening my burden but you are putting smiles on everybody’s face in my family.  It doesn’t get any better than that for a mom! I am so impressed with your foundation because you are able to make it personal to me.  Knowing what I need and what is important to me(family) then making the experience over the top.”  

Our Breathing Room families need us now more than ever while they are home with their children with no school and possibly no paycheck.  We continue to accept the oncology social workers’ referrals for new recipients with an immediate need for a bill payment, ride to treatment or prescription cost. Please consider helping our Breathing Room families by making a donation in place of the personalized Spring/Easter baskets you would have purchased. Your donation  will have a direct impact on a family affected by cancer. 

Thank you very much for your continued generosity and support for the Breathing Room families. We will keep in touch in the days and weeks ahead as we all learn to navigate this stressful time together. Wishing you and your families all the very best!  

Take care…

Support the ongoing needs of our families
