The Pink Angels Foundation

 In February 2010 my life was forever changed. I became immobilized as he softly said "YOU HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER". It was at that very moment that I felt angry, defenseless, absent, and unprotected.  The diagnosis came at such a time when my husband and I were recently married, had a beautiful  two year old baby girl, and was at the height of my career.  I felt as though my life was just beginning.  At the young age of thirty-one, my life was full of visions, dreams, and goals that did not include being diagnosed with such a deadly disease. 

 

     Shortly after being diagnosed, I endured countless surgeries and chemotherapy treatments.  After each encounter, as a women I felt that parts of me were being dismantled.  With the love and support of my husband, family, and friends they each poured so much love and support back into my life.  I now have a new meaning on life and a purpose driven.  As I sat during a chemotherapy treatment with music blazing praying for it all to be over, it was then when a vision was placed upon my heart.  I was embraced with such a huge support system that made me realize not everyone would be as lucky as I am.  Out of my journey birthed the Pink Angels Foundation.

 

    The vision of The Pink Angels Foundation is to provide moral support and be a financial resource to those diagnosed with breast cancer.  With the help of generous donations, our foundation is zealous in providing gift baskets, sufficient supply of protein supplements, gas cards, grocery cards, and utility assistance.  In addition to, we also provide moral support during surgeries, doctor visits, and treatments.  As a three year survivor, it is apparent in which the value it can add to one's life diagnosed with breast cancer.  Being diagnosed to survivorship can be a very lengthy process.  I am committed and determined to stand side by side with each women diagnosed with breast cancer.  Till the day a cure is found, we will continue fighting against this deadly epidemic!
