By now we are sure that you know Be Uplifted Inc is all about “People Not Research”, but have you thought to think about what that means on a day-to-day basis for a breast cancer patient?

To the founders and volunteers of Be Uplifted Inc, it means helping local breast cancer patients when they need it most.

How we help breast cancer patients

Be Uplifted Inc provides support and assistant to breast cancer patients during the period of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

We are not doctors or nurses, we are volunteers who are dedicated to helping others in times of need. A great majority of our volunteers have personally experienced breast cancer, or traveled the journey with a family member or close friend and understand the very unique demands of breast cancer.

We offer support on an ‘as needs’ basis, and our support services include practical, emotional and financial assistance, for example:

• Giving a woman losing her hair due to chemotherapy treatment a free haircut
• Distributing drain bags to local hospitals for patients to use after mastectomy and lumpectomy surgery
• Delivering our “We Care” Hampers to breast cancer patients (these include necessities such as cancer caps and toiletry items plus small special gifts like candles) so they feel pampered and remembered
• Offering free counseling services for families or individuals affected by a breast cancer diagnosis
• Paying everyday household expenses including electricity, telephone, car registration when a person affected by breast cancer is unable to do so
• Providing nutritious food parcels to breast cancer patients who are unable to shop (or who cannot afford to buy these items themselves)
• Paying medical expenses such as oncology bills, medications, oxygen tanks and necessary medical tests (such as MRI and scans)
• Arranging transport to and from medical appointments and chemotherapy and radiation
• Covering school fees and school expenses when a person receiving treatment cannot
• Delivering Christmas Hampers to local hospitals to share the spirit of the season with patients undergoing breast cancer treatment

A little means a lot

Even your loose change can help Be Uplifted Inc alleviate the disadvantage caused by breast cancer.

Our services focus on what other forget – the huge personal pain and disadvantage caused by breast cancer.

And because we have limited overheads that we pay for independently, our breast cancer charity guarantees that when you donate to us, 100% of your donation will go back to the families that are on a breast cancer journey.

Plus, as a registered Australian Charity with the Charity Tick of Approval, you can trust that your donation to Be Uplifted Inc is being used to help others.

Every donation we receive at Be Uplifted Inc is gratefully received and immediately directed for use helping local breast cancer patients.
