CANCER CARE
of NORTH CENTRAL WASHINGTON came into being four and a half years
ago with a handful of people wanting to help other cancer survivors. They
knew first hand some of the physical, financial and psychological difficulties
that come with being diagnosed with cancer. Out of that desire to help, the
group established a non-profit organization, bought a house and made it into a
home-away-from-home for cancer patients who travel to Wenatchee, Washington
for their treatments. It is called "Our House."
With the tireless efforts of volunteers and faithful supporters, a variety of
services to help meet the needs of cancer patients in our community is
offered. We sponsor a support group, an audio cassette tape for the
terminally ill and their families called Going Home, a transportation
committee helping patients get to and from their treatments, a reference
library and a social services committee that helps with housing and financial
needs.
Our vision has been blessed and we look to the future in finding even more
ways to help cancer survivors live each day as fully as possible.
