There is nothing more terrifying than learning that one has breast cancer. The fear, anxiety, and stress that come with the diagnosis can be overwhelming. At this point, there is no going back and a woman has to brace herself for what lies ahead.
Breast cancer can be handled but only with the right attitude, support, and care. The Women’s Association of Breast Cancer in Action provides women affected by breast cancer the much-needed support and hope to fight through their journey.
Who Are We?
The Women’s Association of Breast Cancer in Action, or WABCA, is a non-profit organization that provides breast cancer survivors and their families with emotional and financial support.
We are a group of women who have gone through the same ordeal that these women are going through. We are mothers, sisters, grandmothers, daughters, and friends. We understand the feelings of uncertainty, pain, and hopelessness that come with breast cancer and we are here to offer a shoulder to lean on.
What We Do?
At WABCA, we know that the journey of breast cancer is not one that an individual should traverse alone. That is why we are committed to walking with women through their journey. We offer various services such as:.
- Emotional Support: Breast cancer can be isolating. The fear and worry that come with the diagnosis can make one feel alone. At WABCA, we offer emotional support to women who need someone to talk to. We provide support groups where women can share their experiences, encourage one another, and develop lifelong friendships.
- Financial Support: Breast cancer treatment can be expensive, and many women may find it hard to keep up with the costs. At WABCA, we offer financial support to women who may need assistance covering their medical bills, transportation, and any other expenses that may arise during their journey.
- Practical Support: We understand that women going through breast cancer may need practical support. That is why we offer services such as cooking, cleaning, transportation, and other activities that they may find challenging to do on their own.
- Education and Awareness: We are committed to creating awareness about breast cancer in the community. We believe that sensitizing women about the disease can help them take preventive measures or seek treatment early before the cancer metastasizes.
