Neighbors Helping Neighbors
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Program was created to help relieve the day to day pressures for breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy by helping them to manage family and home commitments during this stressful period.
As most of you know, getting from here to there on the East End can be very
difficult. We offer Transportation to help any woman on the East End who has
breast cancer - whether it is to go to the doctors, have chemo, go to radiation
therapy and even for women who do not have breast cancer but need some assistance
in getting to the hospital to have a Mammogram.
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors Program provides daily warmth, compassion and support needed by the women in our community and their families at a crucial stage in their breast cancer treatment.
How do I Qualify?
- If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are undergoing chemo or radiation therapy and have a doctors confirmation.
- If you live on the South or North Forks of Long Island or Shelter Island.
- If you've signed a confidentiality, consent and waiver release form.
