FTTF Meet Girl Scout Troop 7611

Wow, what an amazing afternoon I had on Monday! I had the pleasure of meeting 14 of the sweetest and most adorable 5th graders from Girl Scout Troop 7611 in Clear Lake. Their Troop chose FTTF to support for their Community Service Project. Each girl scout took part in hand making over 60 of these beautiful pillows for our breast and gyn cancer patients! Each one is individual and made with such love. I was so touched by their interest in the organization, our patients and their desire to help others. How impressive it was to see such young hearts so open to serving others!

These gorgeous pillows will be placed in the Fight Bags and will be distributed to all the patients we are serving right now. We are honored to share these pillows with our patients. Tomorrow will be my 1st drop off. I will get a picture and post so you can see!

Thank you Girl Scout Troop 7611!!!

Keep Your Faith Strong!

I don't normally post proud mom moments but this weekend my oldest Emily created this beautiful chalk sign and said I should share with our FTTF patients. She wrote "Keep your head high" & "Keep your faith strong". Last weekend Bryce and Bree helped me stuff candy bags for the patient luncheon. I love that my kids are (hopefully) understanding there is nothing more important in life than loving on others.

Imerman Angels- Matching Survivors & Active Fighters

Please see the info below re: Imerman Angels. I was blessed to meet the founder of this organization and he has "filled a crack" in the cancer journey by matching survivors and patients in treatment which are matched based on age at diagnosis and diagnosis staging, treatment etc. They also match caregivers, parents etc. They attempt to find matches as close to you as geographically possible. Please pass it on! There is power in knowledge and in support. I could have never made it without my " Angel" Stephanie!

"Imerman Angels was created on the belief that no one should have to fight cancer alone and without the necessary support. At 26 years old, Jonny Imerman was diagnosed with testicular cancer and began his fight against the disease. Throughout his experience, Jonny was lucky enough to have loving support from his family and friends but had never met anyone his age who was a cancer survivor. He wanted to talk to someone just like him, someone who truly understood, and was intimately familiar with his experience. In short, he was looking for someone who had already beaten the same type of cancer. This was the beginning of Jonny’s vision and in 2003, it became a reality when he founded Imerman Angels.

Through our unique matching process, Imerman Angels partners anyone seeking cancer support with someone just like you - a “Mentor Angel”. A Mentor Angel is a cancer survivor or survivor’s caregiver who is the same age, same gender, and most importantly who has beaten the same type of cancer. A Mentor Angel is walking, talking, living proof, and inspiration that cancer can be beaten."~ Imerman's website
