This is a local and online resource that provides nutritional education and grants for hotel stays and meals for young women in recovery or in need of respite. This nonprofit is a tribute to Genevieve who was taken too soon from metastatic breast cancer. Her family set up this nonprofit to help those who may need some extra time to heal while going through treatment. The grant that is given is used for the start of treatment, for respite during treatment or following other circumstances affecting treatment. For more information visit their page and fill out the simple and quick form to see if you qualify.
​
Because of this amazing non-profit we were connected with Genevieve's Helping Hands. They provide respites for women with cancer at no cost to them. We had the pleasure of doing a dual respite with them in September. If you or someone you know has had cancer and is in need of some TLC head to their website and apply for a respite.
