💖 Join Me in Supporting Sharsheret!
I am thrilled and honored to be raising funds for an organization whose mission I deeply admire: Sharsheret.
Sharsheret (Hebrew for "chain") is a national non-profit organization that supports Jewish women and families facing breast and ovarian cancer. They provide a vital safety net, offering a range of free programs, from peer support and educational materials to financial subsidies and high-risk consultations.
Every minute, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Every woman deserves support, and Sharsheret is dedicated to making sure no one faces this journey alone, while also focusing on the unique cultural needs of the Jewish community.
I am fundraising because I believe in the power of their mission to:
- Educate: Provide culturally sensitive health information.
- Support: Offer a community of peers and professional guidance.
- Save Lives: Encourage genetic screening and early detection.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $3,600!
Your donation—no matter the size—will directly help Sharsheret continue to provide their critical, free services (here are just a few of the services):
-Individuals Support: The Link Program offers confidential, psychosocial support and information to empower women and families to better understand individual circumstances, cope with unique challenges, and make informed decisions about treatment, and provide specialized support for women living with metastatic or advanced breast cancer and ovarian cancer.
- Peer-to-Peer: The Ruth and Sidney Vine Peer Support Network connects women newly diagnosed or at high risk of developing breast cancer or ovarian cancer one-on-one with others who share similar diagnoses and experiences.
-Best Face Forward 2.0: provides services and subsidies for eligible individuals for non-medical services that are critical to a woman’s quality of life and body image, and that are only partly covered by insurance companies, if at all. Best Face Forward 2.0 services include financial subsidies for wigs (cranial hair prosthesis), cold caps (scalp cooling treatment), and tattooing* (three-dimensional micropigmentation of the nipple and areola), and tattooing* of the eyebrows (all financial subsidies subject to quarterly availability.)
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to my page today and help me reach my goal. Together, we can strengthen the chain of support for those in need.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
With heartfelt gratitude,
