Families cannot battle cancer alone. 

The financial and emotional strain on a family can be devastating throughout the treatment and recovery phases of cancer. 

Embrace A Family is a means for families to access a local lifeline for support.

The goals of this committee are to support families in our community who are incurring overwhelming hardships due to a cancer diagnosis by:

1. Providing financial support for non-medical expenses such as transportation, groceries, child care, utility bill assistance and other expenses that can ease the strain on a family battling cancer.

2. Offering Preventive Care, such as bringing Boston's Mobile Mammography Van, operated by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to Natick for  yearly  screenings.

3. Sharing support and resource information such as local support groups run by Licensed Clinical Social Workers, along with Nutrition, Health and Wellness information.

If you are interested in helping or wish to apply for assistance please email us at embraceafamily@verizon.net or contact Embrace A Family/Rotary Committee Member Judy Shea, Tobe Gerard or George Levoy.

It takes a community to support a family...
