Treatment and Need
Fundraising helps families manage the strain of chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. It is a common treatment for many types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer. Patients may experience side effects such as nausea, fatigue, and hair loss, while caregivers may experience emotional and financial strain.
Funds can help provide comfort items such as wigs, blankets, and pillows, as well as support services such as counseling and transportation to and from appointments. Funds can also help provide caregivers with support services such as counseling and respite care.
Gene Potts Memorial raises support through community events, fundraising, local business partnerships, grants, donations, and sponsorships.
