If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are experiencing financial difficulty or health care access issues, we are here to help. The DONNA CareLine is a resource available to answer any questions you may have and provide valuable insight to your patient care. The DONNA CareLine is funded by The DONNA Foundation and staffed by insurance and healthcare experts through a partnership with the Patient Advocate Foundation. To date, we have helped over 10,000 families living with breast cancer meet their critical needs. Help comes in many forms; it might be providing much needed transportation to and from treatments, making a co-pay payment on your behalf, assisting with child care payments during your treatment, or help with household utility bills. The needs are countless, and we will work tirelessly, every day, to help you meet all your needs during this difficult time. The DONNA CareLine is available to you 365 days a year, 24/7.
Every donor, every supporter, every volunteer, and every recipient are what makes The DONNA Foundation a reality and we wish we could share all their faces here. Since that isn’t possible, meet the caring hearts that handle the day-to-day operations to fuel programs that help those living with breast cancer move from a place of fear to a place of love.
