The stress, fatigue, and financial exhaustion of cancer was overwhelming - and I was a full time student with an infant. I couldn't even afford to buy diapers. Pink Daisy was there for me at my lowest moment. They not only lifted me up, they helped me get some momentum so I could continue living my life while the doctors were trying to save my life.

I have personally witnessed women with metastatic breast cancer benefit from the pink daisy project. I have so many wonderful stories, but one always warms my heart. A beautiful single mom was diagnosed with mets..She was out of work, in treatment and in great need of financial assistance. With the support of pink daisy, she was able to breathe a little easier. Pink daisy sent her food, gift cards, and helped her with her bills. This allowed her to focus on living, dealing with side effects from chemotherapy and thriving with her son..I have no doubt that she was able to focus on her health and heal with out the horrible worry of where is the next meal coming from and how am I going to pay the rent? The most amazing thing about pink daisy is that they have not stopped helping her. Once you are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, it cannot be cured. Pink Daisy continues to assist her and so many other women facing breast cancer. I have been dealing with metastatic breast cancer for a few years and I am honored to be apart of the Pink Daisy Organization:) Debbie is a life saver in the most important ways:)

I was less than a year into a separation, new mortgage, and reduced salary when I was diagnosed with a new primary breast cancer. I was still paying off my treatment from two years prior, and I was a single girl trying to make it on my own. Pink Daisy Project swooped in and before I knew it, a cooler full of frozen single-serve meals had arrived on my doorstep. By the time I returned home from out of town treatment, a cleaner had been hired to come help with household chores like making the bed, doing laundry, vacuuming, and taking out the trash.
Pink Daisy went entirely out of their way to think up just the right balance of assistance to help me heal and yet allow me to retain some level of independence. They went out of their way to find just the right solutions for my rural location, and to minimize the coordination I would have to do myself. I still tear up when I think about how important it was to me to feel such support from afar, to feel like they really anticipated my needs and helped me retain a little dignity and independence.
I chose 'client served' above for my role, but their generosity and thoughtfulness has also made me a 'donor' for life. I think Deb shows a fantastic level of creativity, thrift, organizational skills and compassion. She has a wonderful organization of volunteers who really understand their clients, and who go out of their way to personalize and maximize their giving. Your money, support and votes couldn't go to a better nonprofit.

Pink Daisy was there for my family and there is no way words could explain how much it helped my family. I will always be extremely grateful for the love they spread. They took so much stress off of me. They are a wonderful organization.

The time I spent in breast cancer treatment was the darkest time of my life. I was a single mother of two young children, one of whom has special needs, and I was scared. We were struggling financially, when the refrigerator stopped working right before Thanksgiving. Desperate, I asked The Pink Daisy Project for help. They really came through, and then some. Not only did we receive the grocery assistance we asked for, but help with fuel, and more. In addition to saving us from hunger, the PDP really changed the way I was feeling. I didn't feel helpless. I didn't feel alone. The love and care that came with the help allowed me to keep moving forward. Words cannot express our gratitude.

I am a survivor. Pink Daisy was not around when I was going through my treatment so I was unable to experience first hand the valuable services and support The Pink Daisy Project provides. A meal? Maid service? A spa day to feel human let alone like a woman? Groceries? A night out-- if you can get out? All these wonder thoughtful gift cards are what separates The Pink Daisy Project from all the other cancer non-profits. Those of us who have benefited from the research are so grateful and hope someday (we seem to getting closer and closer) there will be a cure, but take it from someone who was unable to lift her head off the pillow -- having someone deliver groceries or clean my bathroom --- now that's giving! Thank you Debbie Cantwell for creating The Pink Daisy Project -- your "sisters" are grateful.
The Great!

My cancer expereice was before Debbie started Pink Daisy and I would have been on the wrong side of 50 -- but I have seen Pink Daisy in action and that is why I support it in anyway I can.

No changes. Getting the word out so people can donate is the only thing this organization needs.

I am always amazed by the wonderful, caring work Pink Daisy Project does. As a donor I know that all the money I donate is going to the people who need it, not into staff salaries and garbage mailers I don't need. It's not going to fund a "cure", it's helping comfort and care for women who so desperately need support as they battle for their lives. The results are immediate and measurable. I follow this group on Facebook and regularly see the reactions of the women that have been helped by Pink Daisy Project. I love knowing where my money is going and seeing the good work that it does.

I am in constant amazement of the tireless support and dedication the Pink Daisy Project shows to young women struggling with breast cancer. The PDP offers cleaning services, gas money, groceries and love (a tip of the iceberg) to any and all women, exhausted and battling, to help care for their families and their spirits in a time of great need. Debbie Cantwell is a personal hero of mine and I applaud her and her team of volunteers for the work they do out of pure love and a need to give back. Thank you Debbie and The Pink Daisy Project. You have touched so many lives, lifted so many spirits and shown so much love. We are a better community for your support.

Pink Daisy project is amazing!! They provided gift cards for groceries when we were struggling financially after my breast cancer diagnosis. I am forever grateful. My girls had a wonderful Christmas as well thanks to PDP and those who donate to them.
