Hi there! My name is Erin Pierce and I am nurse practitioner at Ochsner's Gayle & Tom Benson Cancer Center in New Orleans. I am a 2021 honoree fundraising for this years American Cancer Society's Honoree Ball being held on November 4, 2021 which supports the New Orleans Hope Lodge program.
The American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge program provides a free home away from home for cancer patients and their caregivers. More than just a roof over their heads, it is a nurturing community that helps patients access the care they need. The Hope Lodge offers a supportive, home-like environment where guests can share a meal, join in the evening’s activities, or unwind in their own private room. The Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge in New Orleans opened in 2006 and offers 34 guest rooms located near cancer treatment centers in the area. The facility features outdoor, reflection, and meditation spaces, a library, laundry rooms, and other gathering spaces for guests to use at their leisure. As recovery from the COVID-19 health crisis begins, the Lodge needs additional operating funds in order to safely reopen its doors and serve cancer patients in the months and years to come. The proceeds from the 20th Anniversary Belles and Beaus Ball will be used to support the safe reopening of the Hope Lodge in Orleans, on River Road.
As an oncology nurse practitioner, I see firsthand the daily impact that the Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge has on my patients. It is an amazing facility that provides free lodging for our patients and caregivers who are often driving from hours away just trying to receive the best possible cancer care. These patients are actively undergoing cancer treatment and going through the hardest time of their lives. Not having to figure out housing or how they will pay for it allows patients a chance to focus on their health and alleviate some of their stress. Please donate for this worthy cause and help support cancer patients in the New Orleans area! As a reminder, your donation is tax-deductible =)
