Hi friends. Please take a minute and consider a donation to the local Cancer Care Connection cancer coaching and referral program. I have been on the Board for years. As many of you know when you are faced with cancer, you have many choices to make and an incredible amount of work on top of your daily responsibilities. The coaches at CCC are available to help you find what you need, and will help you feel supported through the difficult decisions and steps. Please give what you can. Thanks!

The Light of Hope in Delaware

Overview

We are an independent coaching and information resource for people and families living with cancer. We use existing community and national resources combined with Masters level coaching via the phone to help those who are affected by cancer get informed and supported.
We believe that maintaining hope is reasonable even in the face of grave adversity.
We believe in an individual’s capacity to adjust to each new reality long the path of their journey.
We believe that hope can be realistically supported based on a persons circumstances -not just hope for survival, maybe hope for a good day or a good moment.
We believe that most people want to feel competent, capable and self-reliant. Our commitment is to help without compromising the individual’s sense of feeling in control.
We believe in the value of each moment and that the value of someone experiencing a moment of relief is equal to the value of actions that have that have community-wide impact.
Our program aligns with CDC/ Lance Armstrong Foundation's National Action Plan.

Mission

Cancer Care Connection’s mission is to coach people affected by cancer to obtain and use information and referrals to make informed decisions and to take action on their own behalf.

Our vision is that every person affected by cancer has what they need to obtain their best possible outcome.

Programs

1. Free phone-based coaching, information and referrals for anyone touched by cancer (family,patients, caregivers,friends, co-workers).
2. Targeted workplace support and coaching for businesses needing support working with cancer.

Impact

We help over 2,800 people annually to find support, information and resources regarding their personal cancer situation. Success means that a patient, caregiver, co-worker or friend has the information and coaching to help them make informed decisions, feel supported and empowered to take action.
