Spread the Love, Save a Life.

We want to tell you two stories.

Recently, one of our patients noticed a lump in her breast but lacked the financial means to undergo a mammogram. Fortunately, after consulting with her provider at Community Health Alliance, she discovered that she was eligible for a free mammogram. This examination not only helped her determine that the mass was not a tumor, but also alleviated her worries about the possibility of cancer.

Another patient of ours recently detected a lump in her breast during a routine wellness check with her clinician. Thanks to Community Health Alliance’s mammogram program, she was able to receive an ultrasound promptly. The mass turned out to be cancer, but the early detection allowed her to remove the malignant tumor from her left breast in time. She expressed her gratitude, saying, “I thank God that it was caught on time.”

That’s why we are reaching out to you. We need your help in funding a mammogram for someone who cannot afford one, potentially saving a life. You can help us ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against breast cancer.

Every year, more than 42,000 women in the U.S. lose their battle with breast cancer. These aren’t just numbers; they represent mothers, sisters, and friends who might have had a fighting chance with earlier detection. This is where the crucial role of mammograms comes into play, and where your support can make a real difference.

Mammograms are among the most powerful tools in the early detection of breast cancer, often spotting the disease before symptoms occur. Early detection not only saves lives but also opens the door to more treatment options and a better chance of a full recovery. However, despite these benefits, many individuals across our community lack access to these lifesaving screenings due to cost or lack of insurance.

Every dollar you give brings us closer to a world where fewer lives are lost to this devastating disease. Imagine a world where every person has the opportunity for an early diagnosis, improving their chances for survival and a healthy future. Together, we can make this vision a reality.

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Together, we can stand strong in the face of breast cancer, armed with hope and the most powerful tool we have: prevention.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can save lives.
