Thank you for
allowing us to provide you and your family with support during your cancer
journey. ASCF provides A Shelter for Cancer Families traveling to Houston,
Texas for cancer treatment in addition to tangible support to all families
affected by cancer living in our area. Our tangible support aims to meet the
needs of families (not just patients) affected by cancer. Regardless of your
age, cancer-type, treatment or economic status, we are here for you and your
family.
The housing support ASCF offers is based on what we have experienced
out-of-town families affected by cancer need when visiting Houston. We aim
to provide you and your loved ones with options, dignity and when you need it,
privacy.
We provide navigation services to both families from Houston and those
from out-of-town seeking cancer care here. Volunteer navigators help you and
your loved ones to find your way around the cancer landscape, to make sense of
medical jargon and to explore your options. Our trained volunteer navigators provide assistance
with note taking during clinic visits and facilitating communication between
your family and your healthcare team.
At ASCF, each of us has been personally
touched by cancer. So we know the importance of living in the moment. We want
to help your family rejoice in special moments during your journey. We are here
to help you celebrate what is important to you, whether it is a birthday,
anniversary, wedding, holiday, first-day-of school or "ringing the
bell" to signify the end of treatment. We create opportunities to make
cherished moments along the way possible and special. Please let us know if we
may do so for you.
And if what you need is a hand to hold, a shoulder to cry on
or ear to listen, let us know as our volunteers can provide just that. We are A
Shelter for Cancer Families and it is our greatest privilege to assist you in
this very personal journey.
Yours in service,
