Hi friends! Join me in making a difference by supporting free breast cancer treatment for women and men in the Dominican Republic! I'm raising money for my medical mission, the International Breast Cancer Surgical Mission (IBCSM). IBCSM is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all your donations go directly to us. Any donation will help make an impact! Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Here’s a little info. on the mission and what we do if you’re interested:
According to the World Health Organization, Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in both developed and undeveloped countries. Of the 458,000 Breast cancer deaths each year, 269,000 of those deaths occur in middle to lower income countries because women do not have access to early screening and treatment. The World Health Organization recommends education on early signs and symptoms, clinical breast exam, and mammography where available, as detection strategies. In many countries where preventative programs and education have not been undertaken, the task seems insurmountable.
In response to a global need, the International Breast Cancer Surgical Mission (IBCSM) was founded in 2012. IBCSM, led by Dr. Edna Kapenhas and in partnership with Island Impact Ministries, has been providing preventative breast cancer care for the first time on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic for over a decade. The team will be volunteering in the Dominican Republic to help others in need this upcoming February!
We ask you to help us continue providing these essential services by making as small or as large a donation as you can. Please help IBCSM by taking the time to spread the word and donate to this great cause! Your donation will help us fund the surgery, anesthesia, overnight hospital stay, pathology screenings, biopsies, dressing supplies, medications, chemotherapy, bras, wigs, etc. to those who we provide care for.
Thank you for all of your love and support!
