The American Cancer Society, there are thirty Hope Houses in the US and Puerto Rico. The founder Margot Freudenburg came up with this idea when her family was touched with cancer. She also put a Hope House 40 min away from a tremendous centar. A Hope House first opened in Kansas City in 2000. They are staffed 24/7, the staff work hard to help the families feel at home. This organization helps families that live too far away to still be able to have treatments. They also help with supportive care. This can help families like mine get the help they need.
My grandpa had gotten sick with cancer and they let him stay in a Hope House. This opened a lot of opportunities for my family. They weren't wasting gas they didn't have the money for. My grandpa was so tired from chemo and radiation that this helped them, so they didn't have to drive so far. This made it where he could get treatments. This gave our family longer time with him. My family was thankful because this helped him to be able to get treatments which gave him a longer time to live. They gave us time to spend with him and gave him a longer chance to live. To help the organization and to help more families have the chance like mine did, donate to the website https://www.cancer.org/. Donating can help families have longer time to spend with their family member who has cancer. This can give people a lot more opportunities to be with their loved ones. This can give them a chance to live longer to have more treatments. So please donate to the organization Hope Houses.
