Please give today.
Together, we can make sure no one
in Southwest Colorado faces cancer alone.
In Southwest Colorado, facing cancer is never just about medical treatments. For many of our rural families, the challenges extend far beyond the hospital walls. Long travel distances, limited access to specialists, financial strain, decreased local mental health resources, and the emotional weight of isolation create barriers that no one should have to navigate alone. For many, simply getting to treatment requires hours on the road, missed work, childcare struggles, or choosing between gas in the tank and groceries on the table.
That’s why Cancer Support Community Southwest Colorado exists—to ensure that every person impacted by cancer, no matter where they live or what they earn, can access the essential non-medical support that helps them endure treatment, maintain dignity, and experience hope.
We provide community-based oncology nurse navigation, wigs and mastectomy garments, resource guidance, mental health support and supervised support groups, transportation assistance, gas cards, help locating hotel stays during treatment, survivorship programming, financial navigation, wellness programs, and a warm, caring community when the journey feels overwhelming. Every service is offered at absolutely no cost to patients, survivors, and their loved ones.
But we cannot do any of this alone.
This giving event is critical. As cancer diagnoses rise and costs continue to surge, so do the number of people who turn to us for help. Your donation directly removes barriers that no person with cancer should face - barriers rooted in geography, finances, fear, or simply going through this journey without support.
Your gift today will:
- Provide gas cards and transportation grants so patients can reach lifesaving treatments.
- Help locate hotel stays for those traveling long distances.
- Support licensed mental health providers who guide our support groups.
- Keep our hospital-based volunteer Resource Center stocked with wigs, prostheses, mastectomy garments, and comfort items.
- Expand programs that reduce isolation and promote healing healthy lifestyle classes, workshops, support groups, and survivorship activities providing social connection.
- Ensure a caring, knowledgeable staff is always there when someone hears the words, “You have cancer.”
For our rural community, your generosity is not abstract, it means immediate, practical, life-changing support for your neighbors, coworkers, and loved ones. Every dollar helps close the gap between what cancer takes away and what compassionate community can restore.
Community Is Stronger Than Cancer.
