Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Clients in our program are fighting war on poverty and war on health. We are aiding them in this fight against both in order to not only survive breast cancer, but to thrive beyond the terrible disease and to live enriched lives thereafter with their families. DeKalb and Fulton County have some of the highest mortality rates of breast cancer across Georgia.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We do not just want to focus on surviving breast cancer and helping community members with the awareness and preventative measures, we want to ensure survivors and their families are sustainable by reducing mortality rates, generational poverty, and health disparities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We would like to work on moving into financial longevity as well to ensure the cycle of generational poverty is broken. We start by getting survivors and their families to become home owners with employment opportunities that allow more financial freedom.
We would also like to launch our new program on Youth Mentorship for breast cancer survivors teenagers.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Through strategic partnerships and community targeted funding campaigns to ensure success is met.
Through active and engaged board of directors, staff, and volunteers to grow the mission effectively and efficiently.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have accomplished 100% of no homelessness and hunger while families are battling breast cancer.
We have accomplished 95% living cancer free post 3 years of enrollment of program while diagnosed with cancer.
We have accomplished 20% increase of adults in households enrolled in higher education.
We have accomplished 75% increase of healthy behaviors and grades of youth of survivors through mentorship.
Next we hope to have 100% high school graduation rates of students of survivors.
100% of survivors five year post program with quality of life (better employment pre cancer, higher income pre cancer, etc.)
