"Being diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer was a terrible shock that came with many unexpected challenges. The Atrium Foundation has been incredibly sensitive, caring, supportive, and generous at a time with I was most vulnerable and feeling defeated. I am eternally grateful for their support and caring."

"My name is Donna Rencher. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2020. Hearing this diagnosis was something I never expected and my life came to a screeching halt. I didn’t know where to turn. Who to talk to. I was devastated. A friend of mine told me about The Atrium Foundation and they may be able to help. I was reluctant at first because I wondered how can someone help me in this situation. So I made the call and it was the best decision of my life.
The warmth and compassion I felt over the phone was amazing and just what I needed. They understood what I was going through. I was able to let my guard down and feel at ease. I am appreciative of the Atrium Foundation and am forever indebted. "

"It was such a wonderful experience being chosen by The Atrium Foundation to receive assistance. They were so kind and sympathetic to my story about aggressive breast cancer. I really appreciated that The Atrium Foundation was created by people who have gone through cancer as caretakers and patients. I really felt like I was not only heard but truly understood. They were quick to respond to all messages and, overall, an awesome resource for those on their journey to health during breast cancer."

“You have cancer” is not easy to hear. I certainly wasn’t expecting it just barely a month after my 36th birthday. The mental, emotional, and physical struggles following this type of diagnosis are impossible to explain. The Atrium Foundation is a blessing for those of us who are in the midst of that battle. Most people don’t think about the challenge of trying to balance a family and finances as part of your diagnosis. Having the support from the amazing team at the Atrium Foundation and its donors has alleviated some of that extra stress placed on me and my family.
I am forever grateful to be able to have the financial support that has allowed me to focus more on my health journey.
To Dorothy, Andra, and everyone at the Atrium Foundation, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping to provide my family with this peace of mind!
