Review for Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition Inc, Lindenhurst, NY, USA
A friend referred me to BBCC after hearing how they helped another friend of hers going through breast cancer also. I didn't call right away because I was overwhelmed but when I did I spoke with the director, Tess, who took the time to reassure me of their local support and assistance. She personally delivered a gift bag of donated items that would help me with my surgery, treatments, and recovery. One of them was an informative book that was so valuable to me!! I wish I had called earlier as it was a such a needed resource. I was also assigned a volunteer (who had been through bc) and was able to speak to her on a regular basis about my treatments and recovery process. She was so kind and generous with her time and it was reassuring to know I could talk to someone locally as opposed to an 800# or call center. BBCC also donated other services and meals to my family through their Lend a Helping Hand program. It was so appreciated and helped relieve some of the stress we were all going through. I fully support this organization and the wonderful staff who are always friendly and willing to help their clients in any way they can (transportation, referrals, resources, etc.). I am so thankful for them. Terry still continues to keep me informed of their local activities and programs. and I continue to recommend them to anyone going through breast cancer as well as others who may be able to support their efforts.
