Embrace Your Sister (EYS) - our fundraising efforts for October- THANK YOU!

Many thanks to all of our generous patients for buying pink ribbons for our October fundraiser for Breast Cancer month. We raised $30 with a matching donation from our office for a total of $60!  Our donation is going to Embrace Your Sisters (EYS) . EYS fills a unique niche in breast cancer services by providing short-term emergency financial assistance to residents of Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne and Yates counties in New York.

Many people diagnosed with breast cancer are unable to work during their illness or treatment adding a huge financial toll to an already difficult struggle.
Assistance from EYS eases the financial difficulties of unpaid bills and helps friends focus on their health and families.
A grant from EYS can help friends dealing with mounting co-pays and medical expenses. This emergency funding can also help with rent/mortgages, utilities, and other necessary expanses in order to improve the quality of their lives and  maintaining a stable environment during their battle. EYS can also provide longer -term help with practical, emotional health and other vial services.
Thank you for all your support.!
