Transcript

We would love for research to cure cancer. That would be fantastic. I would go find another job and celebrate. But in the meantime, we have a long road ahead of us. 4500 women a year are diagnosed in the state of Alabama with breast cancer, and they need help and support now. They can't wait for research to cure cancer. They need it now. And that's one of the beautiful things that we do is we help you right now when you're in the throes of a diagnosis and we help you get through it. I think Forge is important because it gives you a sense of hope. And that means different things for different people. But I guess it's just the sense that. We are with you. We're going to be with you. We're going to stay with you until you finish this. People need support in different ways and at different times, and Forge understands that. That's why we say we're here to help people from the day of diagnosis through the rest of life, because people are going to need us at different seasons of life. Many, many people have breast cancer. But when it kind of knocks on your door, you know, it leaves you with a lot of different emotions. And that's where Forge seems to understand how emotional the process is there really. Loving and supportive in a way that's not intrusive or invasive. They definitely seem to be able to measure what they're offering with where you are going to all of your medical appointments is extremely important. You can't miss a radiation. You can't miss a chemotherapy. You have to take the drugs that they give you and they're really expensive and there are copays. We have clients who tell us that I chose the treatment I did because it was the least amount of time that I had to miss from work. And now with our new hardship fund, we can help people in active treatment and within a year of active treatment to pay their rent and their utilities. We want you to be able to concentrate on getting well and not worry about, cannot pay my light bill this month. There's so much to worry about when you have a serious illness. To know that Forge is doing something at that very basic level to say, well, at least you don't have to worry about that is incredibly important. Borage allows people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer to beat their authentic selves in the moment and provides them with resources to not stay there. My hope is that Forge is the name that people think of first when they hear they have breast cancer or someone that they love has breast cancer and they know that's who I call. That's my #1 hope. My second hope is that Ford is sustainable, that everything that we are creating now, all the people we are serving now in the 45 counties where we are now. Can rely on us to be there five years from now, 10 years from now and frankly that's a financial challenge. We need to make sure that we have the financial capacity to be there. For the next 1020 years for anybody who's been diagnosed with breast cancer.
