"Most
cancer patients divide their lives into 'before cancer' and 'after cancer.' A
new diagnosis of breast cancer always brings disorganizing waves of anxiety
and fear. As women struggle to master these emotions, reorganize their lives,
and reconfigure their finances, it is wonderful to be able to say, 'Call Sense
of Security . . . they really will help'. It is the deepest reassurance I can
give a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer. To know that a sturdy group of
people stand ready with open hearts and open pocketbooks to help is to know that
you are not alone."

Ingebrigtsen, retired LCSW University of Colorado Hospital
We seek to provide a sense of security from financial hardship and enhance the quality of life for breast cancer patients in treatment.
Sense of Security has provided over One Million Dollars toward housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, COBRA or insurance premiums and other basic living expenses of breast cancer patients in treatment. And we have assisted over 500 Colorado breast cancer patients.
75% of the assistance we have provided has been for housing assistance and groceries. These basic needs have been the top requests from breast cancer patients throughout Sense of Security's existence.
We are proud that so much of our funding goes to ensure that breast cancer patients can stay in their homes and have enough good food to nourish them during their debilitating treatment.
