According to the American Cancer Society, Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among American women, and is the second leading cause of cancer death following lung cancer. Thinking about these statistics makes me wonder about the women who are unable to afford getting checked due to financial restraints.
The good news is, A Silver Lining Foundation supports underserved individuals affected with cancer who are unable to find access and treatment options. In just eight years, they have provided support to over 450,000 individuals.
They also have specific programs in which you can help support. One of them, Buy A Mom A Mammogram, which guarantees women a cost-free screening mammogram and follow-up diagnostic.
Wouldn’t it be great if every individual affected with cancer were able to receive a screening regardless of finances? The Silver Lining Foundation is taking that step, and I hope there are many more to follow.
