Stories and impact

The kind of help that changes a hard week.

These stories, shared on the original Push for Cancer website, reflect the everyday support patients and families said mattered most.

Utility assistance and cleaning services

Maria T.

“I didn't know how I was going to keep the lights on while going through chemo. Push for Cancer paid my utility bill and sent someone to clean my home every week. I could finally just focus on getting better.”

Groceries and medication assistance

James & Linda K.

Caregiver family, Fort Worth

“When my husband was diagnosed, everything fell apart financially. Push for Cancer stepped in without judgment and helped us with groceries and medication costs. We didn't feel alone anymore.”

Transportation assistance

DeShawn M.

Colon cancer patient, Arlington

“Getting to treatment was a challenge I hadn't anticipated. Push for Cancer arranged transportation for me every single week. That kind of practical help made all the difference.”

Financial and errand assistance

Sandra R.

Lung cancer survivor, Plano

“I was too proud to ask for help at first. But when I finally reached out, the team at Push for Cancer treated me with so much dignity and kindness. I wish I had called sooner.”

Rent and resource navigation
