Facing a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. At JFSA, we believe everyone deserves a fighting chance, not just to survive, but to thrive. That's why we launched a comprehensive, personalized support program designed to empower individuals and families affected by breast cancer.

This isn't just a one-time crisis intervention; it's a long-term journey of support. We walk alongside our clients, connecting them to essential resources and empowering them to make informed decisions about their care.

“The program is positive, uplifting, informative and a breath of fresh air. A safe haven for women to share experiences as most of us have been alone without support. So many emotions we have experienced. Grateful for all the assistance you provide on so many levels. You're doing an excellent job, thanks for caring. You brighten our world, give us hope.”
- Francesca, Cancer Survivor
“The companionship of people going through the same experiences are welcome and informative, letting us know we're not alone and providing emotional support. Doctors care for us but are frequently short on time and most have not experienced cancer personally. The struggle to find services is very real. Someone else's success is not only helpful but gives us hope we can do it too from people who have been where we are and give hope to the ones who are just beginning their cancer fight."
- Connie, Cancer Survivor
