Program
The Ellie Fund's Care for the Caregiver program provides support services for women with breast cancer and their families completely free of charge. Our services include transportation to medical appointments, daycare, housekeeping, meals and grocery cards.
All Care for the Caregiver participants are referred to The Ellie Fund by medical professionals from hospitals across Massachusetts, The Wellness Community-Greater Boston, various support groups across the state, and Dimock Community Health Center.
Whether women undergoing treatment live alone or are the primary caregiver for themselves or their family, it is our belief that by helping to ease the burden of daily activities through caring and personal support free of charge, we are enabling them to channel the majority of their energy into fighting their disease.
Because of The Ellie Fund's low overhead, quick turnaround, lack of "red tape" and attention to personal service, women with breast cancer and their families are able to receive support services quickly and in a personal manner.
The Ellie Fund's proudest ability is to take donations on Friday and use them to directly benefit patients on Monday.
