Testimonials
Sheila
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, when I was 33.
The American Cancer Society highly recommended that I call
Cindy at CSFI. Cindy was very concerned about getting help
for me and my three children. I was going through an
eviction and I needed help paying for medications. Cindy
got in touch with people that could help me. She called a
Congressional office and wrote a letter to a judge on my
behalf-she even went to court with me. As a result of her
work, a hold was placed on my eviction and I was able to
keep my utilities on. Cindy also got a pharmaceutical
company to provide the medications I needed and she found a
college scholarship program for my daughter to apply to.
Because Cindy's been through cancer treatment, she
understood my feelings and mood swings. She was there for
me to talk to every step of the way. My health is much
better now. Thank God for Cindy. She's really been there
for me and my family.

I'm 42 years old and have been battling breast cancer since
1983. Last year, the cancer center where I was being
treated gave me a list of places to call for help, but no
one would listen to my story except Cindy. I was homeless
with two kids, living in a car during the winter and
getting my family washed up at McDonalds. I lost my
apartment when I was in the hospital. My landlady came to
the hospital to collect $1900 from me for rent, but she
stole the money and evicted me. When I got out of the
hospital, my things were thrown out on the lawn and some of
my children's toys had been stolen. The landlady said I
violated my lease. Cindy provided money to help me get into
another apartment. She was the only one who stood by me.
Now my kids and I have a home. I'm still going through
treatment and I call Cindy for encouragement when I need
it. If it wasn't for her, I don't know how I would have
gotten through this.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and needed
financial help. I've been too sick to work while I'm in
treatment, so I lost all my income. My husband's income
from the military hasn't been enough to pay our bills. He's
stationed in another state right now while I go through
treatment, take care of our 5-year-old son, and care for my
elderly mother. I thought there would be cancer
organizations I could go to for help, but CSFI is the only
one that gave me money so I could make my car insurance
payment. The VA hasn't helped us at all and we are still
struggling. When I'm well enough, I want to volunteer for
CSFI, because no other organization is providing these
kinds of services for cancer patients.
