Review for WeSPARK Cancer Support Center, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been involved w/weSPARK for about 8 years -- originally taking advantage of the incredibly supportive services offered through this organization. The people that work here are extremely dedicated and committed to continuing the goals of Wendie Jo Sperber, the founder of weSPARK. I am now a volunteer and am gratified by being able to contribute in a "pay it forward" way. The activities offered here at no cost to the "guests" are physically, psychicly and emotionally advantageous to cancer survivors (including those continuing in treatment and post treatment) and and their families and friends. The atmosphere is supportive and upbeat yet recognizing and serving the needs of individuals.

As a cancer survivor I have been able to take advantage of many of the services offered.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Like to have a larger space and more parking, but recognize that there are often financial limitations as well as convenience of location to meet the needs of an unfortunately growing population.

Role:  Volunteer & I currently volunteer wherever I can be useful including fund raising events and acting as a fill in receptionist.
 

Review for WeSPARK Cancer Support Center, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a cancer survivor that was lucky enough to find this terrific organization. Initially I was in support groups, took advantage of many of the ongoing classes offered, and made numerous friends. This is a most caring organization dedicated to making the lives of cancer related patients, their friends and families realize they are not alone and will provide whatever help they can. I now volunteer when needed.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the happiness it brings to all people involved.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

try to get more people involved and contributing.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

its ability to recognize the needs of people affected by cancer.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

caring and concerned.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

change thelives of millions of people for the better.

Ways to make it better...

the founder had not passed away.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

finding the funds to continue its services.

One thing I'd also say is that...

I've said enough!
