Our Mission Statement
The Beauty Foundation’s mission is to alleviate the tremendous physical, emotional and financial strains that cancer treatment places on families.
We help remove the burdens that families face when one of their members is fighting cancer. We raise money to offset the expenses they incur which aren’t covered under insurance, including child care, household expenses, transportation costs associated with treatment and other needs from lifestyle changes caused by cancer.
The Beauty Foundation is a 501 C3 non-profit organization that supports and empowers families who are actively fighting cancer through direct monetary grants. The Beauty Foundation also supports the development of educational materials and provides support to local cancer centers.
Our goal is to help inspire courage, strength and confidence that is needed to fight cancer. Please click here to learn how YOU can help!
How We Began
In 2008, the Beauty Foundation was created with the mission to alleviate some of the burdens placed on women facing a cancer diagnosis. In the beginning the Foundation gave small monetary grants to help women with groceries, childcare and other small expenses.
The Foundation’s mission was based on the concept that a woman holds up the family. When a woman is sick, it creates a situation of stress for the family. The woman worries about childcare, meals for her family and keeping the house clean. If we could provide a small amount of support in these areas, maybe the woman could focus on her own healing.
As time went on, we realized that whenever anyone in the family is sick, the same burdens exist. When a husband or child is sick, childcare, groceries, meals and housecleaning are still a tremendous issue. Therefore, we expanded our mission to help any individuals that are currently being treated for cancer.
To date we have supported over 100 families from all over the United States. We have provided grants, meals, supermarket gift cards, gas cards, transportation, housecleaning services, childcare as well as emotional support and educational services.
We pray for a cure for cancer but until then we are committed to helping individuals and families lessen their burdens so that they can focus on healing.
