Edgecombe Cancer Support Foundation Inc

 
Mission:
To financially assist cancer patients of Edgecombe County.
Being diagnosed with cancer is like having an individual natural disaster.  Patients are faced with many hardships including financial stress.  The people of Edgecombe County wish to help their friends and neighbors and want to help make that fight for survival a little easier.
Many people assume that the needs of cancer patients are being completely met. However, given the changing times and the rising cost of health insurance, treatment costs, and cost of living increases, there are a great number of cancer patients who are in need financially.
The Cancer Fund will strive to assist those needs when it comes to financial concerns.
The fund will be administered by a group of volunteers dedicated to helping our friends and neighbors diagnosed with cancer. 
The long-term mission is to become a leading resource in raising awareness and to establish a self-perpetuating fund that will assist those patients who are diagnosed with cancer in Edgecombe County.
