Ribbons Rising Launch Party

Welcome to Ribbons Rising: A Mission of Hope and Support Hello and welcome to the inaugural blog post of Ribbons Rising! My name is Kristen D’Angelo, and I am honored to introduce you to the heart and mission behind this foundation. As a breast cancer survivor, my journey has shaped my passion for helping others facing similar battles. Diagnosed while raising three small children, I experienced firsthand the immense challenges of undergoing treatment, surgeries, and recovery—all while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for my family. During that time, I realized something crucial: no one should have to face cancer alone. The Birth of Ribbons Rising When I recovered, I knew my purpose was to create a nonprofit that would provide meaningful support to those navigating the uncertainties of a cancer diagnosis. That dream became Ribbons Rising, an organization dedicated to empowering and assisting individuals and families at all stages of cancer. Our goal is simple yet profound: to lighten the burden for those in need by offering financial assistance, emotional support, and essential services that make their journey a little easier. How We Support Our Community We recognize that cancer affects every aspect of life, which is why Ribbons Rising offers a range of services and programs designed to provide relief and hope: Financial Assistance : Helping individuals cover costs related to treatment, transportation, and essential care. Counseling Services : Providing emotional and mental health support to those battling cancer and their families. Childcare Support : Assisting parents undergoing treatment by covering childcare expenses. Meal Support : Ensuring patients and families have access to nutritious meals during treatment and recovery. Community Support Programs : Connecting individuals through support groups, workshops, and events to foster encouragement and healing. Cutting-Edge Research Support : Funding advancements in cancer research to help find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. How You Can Make a Difference Every contribution, big or small, makes an impact. Your donations and sponsorships provide direct aid to those who need it most. With your generosity, we can help cover everything from childcare costs and transportation to medication assistance and meal deliveries. Additionally, a portion of all funds raised goes toward cutting-edge cancer research, helping to drive advancements that could save lives in the future. Join Us in Rising Together Ribbons Rising is more than just a nonprofit—it’s a community of hope and strength. Whether you donate, volunteer, or help spread our message, you are part of the fight to support those battling cancer. Together, we can lift up patients and families, ensuring they receive the care, resources, and hope they deserve. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we rise.
