Help Provide Support So Those with Breast Cancer Can Heal
Cancer is a diagnosis that no one wants to hear. Many of us have lost family members and dear friends to this hideous disease. Every 14 seconds, somewhere in the world, a case of breast cancer is diagnosed – a sobering statistic. Paint Pink is a non-profit created by Kim Keene, a breast cancer survivor, and her supporters. As a cancer survivor, Kim knows all too well that insurance does not cover many patients’ needs.
The average cancer patient loses over $92,000 due to treatment-related costs.
Paint Pink Inc. aims to support cancer patients with goods and services not covered by insurance: payment of bills, legal fees, personal care items, house cleaning, meal delivery and more.
Covering the costs of services that insurance doesn’t cover is a common concern associated with cancer treatment that people often forget, adding more unnecessary stress for patients. This is the reality for many who are affected by cancer.
