Loving Arms Cancer Outreach

During this season of reflection and thanksgiving, Loving Arms Cancer Outreach is so thankful for the support of the community throughout this very challenging year.

It is wild considering a year ago no one had ever heard of COVID-19 and believed a worldwide pandemic only happened in the movies. However, it is real and has bulldozed its way into our lives and has forever changed the landscape.

Everything and everyone we know has been changed. As we navigate through the unknown in our ever-changing world, some things have remained the same. One such thing is cancer with its hateful uncertainties and unfortunately COVID has only made it worse!

Another thing that has not changed is the dedication Loving Arms has for helping cancer patients. We have continued to provide emotional and financial support throughout this pandemic.

We have a weekly support group via Zoom for all cancer patients. We talk about the hard stuff, the good stuff and support each person at their point of need. We also continue to provide food and gas as well as assistance with utility bills. There are so many people out of work and cancer patients are at the top of the list for being quarantined. They will be isolated longer than the average person because of their weakened immune systems from chemotherapy and radiation. We will feel the effects of this pandemic long after it’s over.

Again, we are so grateful for the many organizations and foundations that have provided funding for us to assist the patients in our community. Organizations like the Cobb County Commissioners who helped us feed hundreds of Cobb County cancer patients, The Atlanta United Way for helping provide funds to pay utility bills for Metro Atlanta Cancer patients and Select Cobb for funds to keep our employees working for our patients. There are other supporters like Northwest Georgia Oncology, Greystone Power, and Cobb EMC to name a few. We want to thank the aforementioned as well as those not mentioned.

As we bring this year to an end and look toward a new year, we ask for you to consider making a donation to Loving Arms Cancer Outreach. We have not been able to have our regular fundraisers that account for a big part of our overall budget. Therefore, we have a shortfall this year. We need the community to rally so we can continue helping cancer patients, not only financially but emotionally as well.

There is nothing like being in the fight of your life and having no resources available for a lifeline. We do not want our patients to lack their basic needs as they battle cancer and the effects of COVID.
