Every effort will be made to "match" you with a mother volunteer whose
daughter is close in age, has had the same type of breast cancer, and
same
type of treatment. Whenever possible we will connect you with someone in
your
region, but when not possible we will connect you with other mothers out
of
your vicinity whom you "match" with.
All of our mother volunteers have daughters who have been
diagnosed with
breast cancer and completed their treatment. You will find each of them
to be
very helpful and supportive as you embark on the same journey with your
own
daughter.
We also have mother volunteers who specialize in providing
support for
specific types of treatment, such as bone marrow or stem cell
transplant.
If your daughter also wishes to be in touch with other women who
are
currently under treatment for breast cancer and are similar in age, type
of
breast cancer and treatment, please let us know this as well.
We are fortunate in that we have access to mother volunteers who
can reach
others in a variety of ways -- telephone, email, fax, or by letter, and
in
some special situations, even face to face. So no matter where you are
we are
available to help you.
Below is a map of the United States that shows where our mother
volunteers
are geographically located. The President of our organization, Charmayne
Dierker*, also makes herself personally available to help mothers all
over the
world.
