Our support group facilitator has created an environment of sharing that supports mental Health that Cancer patients so desperately need. We also provide affirming experiences and opportunities for survivors that focus on Health and wellbeing. 3,112 dollars was spent on this program, and many volunteer hours were given by the board and staff. That dollar amount does not include overhead or administrative costs.
