Rose Breast Health witnesses heart-breaking cases that highlight the urgent necessity of empowering minority underserved communities in the fight against breast cancer.
Meet Naza, 31 years old, whose journey commenced with the discovery of a lump just before the joyous arrival of her first child. Despite her concerns, her midwife dismissed it, resulting in unchecked cancer progression. Now, Naza, once vibrant and full of life, finds herself confined to a wheelchair, her speech faltering, all due to late diagnosis of breast cancer. Yet, amid the darkness, your donations and those from others like you to Rose Breast Health’s cause mean Naza is finally receiving the critical investigations and care vital for her survival.
Then there's Euph, 44, who ignored her body's warning signs for over a year. Unfamiliar with breast health and the gravity of her condition, she postponed seeking medical attention until the discomfort became unbearable. Five years of surgeries without proper examination only exacerbated her situation. Now confronted with a bilateral breast cancer diagnosis, Euph's plight underscores the urgent need for initiatives promoting breast health awareness and fundraising to ensure comprehensive healthcare support reaches every corner of our communities.
These stories are not isolated incidents; they represent the widespread issue afflicting our minority underserved communities - a lack of awareness, limited healthcare access, and financial constraints resulting in delayed diagnoses and devastating consequences. Rose Breast Health's mission stands firm against these challenges.
Our mission is to improve breast cancer outcomes and ultimately reduce the high fatality rates. Our approach is multifaceted and proactive.
We actively promote breast health to boost screening participation among migrant women in countries with established screening programs. Additionally, we raise awareness and work to eradicate the stigma surrounding breast cancer.
Through our fundraising efforts, we secure funds to offer free screening, timely diagnosis, and comprehensive treatment to those in need, ensuring that financial constraints never stand in the way of life-saving care.
Every donation received fuels our mission, enabling us to reach more women, provide timely interventions, and ultimately save lives.
Your support is pivotal in realizing this vision of a future where timely and effective care reaches everyone, irrespective of their location or income level, and where breast cancer is no longer a death sentence.
