REALITY BITES

It's been a tough week for our organization.  It's such a wonderful experience for us to celebrate our clients who make it through the treatment battle.  We love seeing them months later and often not recognizing them with hair and health.
     This week has been a lot different, a week that reminds us of the nitty gritty of the breast cancer battle.
    One week ago today, one of our warriors completed her journey.  She was only 33 years old, a wife and mother of three young children.  
     Unfortunately, she died without life insurance.  For the past week, her family has struggled to raise enough money for her funeral and burial expenses.  
      Today we took care of that.  Because of generous donors, we were able to pay the last nearly $2000.00, so her family can now schedule her service.
      It indeed has been a tough week, but it's the reality of what we do.  Not every one of our stories has a happy ending.  But our commitment to the cause continues.  We fight on through our tears and disappointment...until there is a cure.
       Shatrice, we love you and we'll never forget you.
