My Nonprofit Reviews

Gilda's Club Madison is an amazing resource...walking through those red doors brings any woman, man, child or teen diagnosed with any type of cancer into a welcoming home setting, with wonderful support from other members who understand the cancer journey...with a caring and committed staff...
volunteers and community support that are beyond belief...including family and friends of those on the cancer journey...psychosocial support and network groups...education and active health related activities...relaxation and guided imagery...needle people...resource library...their calendar has something for everyone...social activities...family nights...special events...hope and emotional healing...remembrance for those who have passed...and strength for those on the journey, and those who love them. I drive from Milwaukee area as a member, and volunteer.

Ever so briefly, when Gilda's Club Southeastern Wisconsin closed and Stillwateds took over the Well was Group, I joined. Sadly, it was a stressful experience, when we were told we would no longer be able to light a candle in memory of fellow members to honor their passing. This was not supportive of emotional healing with loss. I continue to feel strongly about this issue, and drive the almost two hours each way to Gilda's Club Madison, where truly, there is a supportive community.

I would hope, at least, this heartfelt comment will not be deleted.
