This month, in honor of it being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are supporting Latinas Sisters Support Inc., an organization that provides a support network for Latin women facing cancer diagnoses.
For Latina women facing a cancer diagnosis, having a support network can make all the difference. Latinas Sisters Support Inc. is dedicated to serving newly diagnosed Latina cancer patients, survivors, and their families by offering comprehensive emotional, financial, and spiritual support. More than just a support organization, Latinas Sisters Support Inc. is a sisterhood—a compassionate community and a powerful resource that helps Latina cancer patients and survivors navigate their journey with hope and resilience.
Empowering and Supporting Latina Cancer Survivors
Latinas Sisters Support Inc. understands the profound impact a cancer diagnosis has on individuals and their loved ones. Their mission is to educate, encourage, empathize, and empower Hispanic and Latina women and their families who are facing breast cancer and other forms of cancer. They provide access to knowledge, resources, and connections, easing the burdens of treatment and survivorship while fostering a strong sense of community.
Comprehensive Support for Every Step of the Journey
As a vital resource, Latinas Sisters Support Inc. is committed to increasing access to cancer diagnosis, treatment, and care. Their services extend beyond traditional support, addressing every aspect of well-being and survivorship, including:
Education and Resources: Through virtual and in-person sessions, Latinas Sisters Support Inc. educates its community on cancer screening, prevention, different cancer diagnoses, and what to expect during treatment. Professionally run, private, and cost-free live seminars guide patients and families through each stage of the journey, preparing them with knowledge and understanding.
Emotional and Spiritual Support: Cancer can be an isolating experience, but the organization’s support groups provide a safe space where survivors can share their experiences with others who truly understand. These sessions, led by compassionate facilitators, offer much-needed emotional reinforcement, helping women and their families find strength through shared understanding.
Life Coaching: Private, cost-free life coaching sessions help clients identify personal obstacles, set actionable goals, and develop plans for navigating the challenges ahead. These sessions provide guidance, motivation, and direction for both immediate and long-term challenges.
Practical Support When It Matters Most
Latinas Sisters Support Inc. goes beyond emotional and educational support, also offering practical assistance to ease some of the day-to-day burdens for their members. These services include:
Monthly Group Meetings: The organization hosts regular in-person gatherings for survivors, newly diagnosed individuals, and their families to connect, share, and find encouragement in a supportive setting.
Meal and House Cleaning Services: Understanding that everyday tasks can be overwhelming during treatment, Latinas Sisters Support Inc. offers meal deliveries and house cleaning assistance to help alleviate stress on families.
Legal Services Referrals: For those who require legal guidance, the organization connects members with trusted professionals to help them navigate legal complexities related to their diagnosis and care.
Youth Support Assistance: Recognizing the impact of cancer on the whole family, Latinas Sisters Support Inc. offers youth support programs to provide comfort and guidance to the younger members of the community.
Food Distribution: At a designated community hub, the organization regularly distributes bags and boxes of food to local residents in need, ensuring that no family goes hungry.
Partnering to Provide Transportation and Sister-to-Sister Support
Transportation can be a significant barrier to care, which is why Latinas Sisters Support Inc. has partnered with Adelphi University’s program for breast cancer survivors to offer transportation assistance to therapy and medical appointments. For survivors facing other types of cancer, the sister-to-sister support program ensures they receive the same level of care and assistance, fostering a network of women helping women.
