Review for Stupid Cancer, New York, NY, USA
I learned about I2Y only about 1 year ago and it has honestly changed my life. I am a 13 year cancer survivor- I was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia my senior year in high school in a small town in upstate NY. This organization is something brand new that fills a huge gap that is something that I never realized (at the time) I was missing. A safe place to be with people who looked like me rather than my mom or grandma who were interested in the same issues I was/am. This organization is making a difference in lives of current young cancer patients and survivors everyday by providing access to resources, education on how to get what they need and how to process what's happening to them and offering a safe environment to be themselves around other young survivors who are going through the same things and to GET BUSY LIVING TOGETHER. I only wish that this had been there when I was diagnosed and I see everyday the difference we make to other young survivors.

lack of funding and corporate sponsorship.
