Review for I Will Survive Inc., Atlanta, GA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I Will Survive Inc. is an organization that supports survivors of breast cancer in various ways. Fundraising events and donations provide help with bills and feeding the families of survivors. I became involved with IWS to gain volunteer hours. After completing those hours, I stayed on as a volunteer for a few years, until my schedule changed and I could no longer commit to projects and events. I participated in the annual fashion show, networking events, health fairs, community events, meetings, and brainstorming. Some of my best memories are when the organization was able to meet the goal of paying bills for multiple families at a time, seeing the smiles on their faces when they received food, school, or holiday gift donations, connecting a mother to realtors who helped her secure a new home, and connecting mothers who lost their jobs due to treatment demands to new employment. The founder of I Will Survive Inc. truly cares about her community and helping survivors of breast cancer to regain their stability. This is a cause near and dear to her heart and it shows. She is passionate and motivated to grow the organization, so that more survivors can become and remain stable after undergoing cancer treatments. I had a wonderful experience as a volunteer and look forward to watching I Will Survive Inc. continue to help men and women through the tough transition cancer treatment and therapy can present.
