The Angela Roberts Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance for families of women with breast cancer, with items and services not covered by medical plans. Items such as: wigs, prosthetics, prescriptions, transportation, etc.
It is a clinically known fact that stress can decrease the chance of breast cancer survival significantly. Help us help survivors focus on the most important thing - their healing and health. We will help support them with the rest.
We are supporting one another through the simple gift of peace of mind. Help us give a little peace of mind and increase the chance of survival.

Breast Cancer Bill in Congress
Lifetime TV Petition Collects Signatures for Patient Protection Act
The Bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act Gets First Congressional Hearing in 12 Years
On Wednesday, May 21, the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee held, for the first time ever, a hearing on the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act. Championed by Representative DeLauro (D-CT) and Senators Snowe (R-ME) and Landrieu (D-LA), this bill would eliminate the practice of "drive-through" mastectomies, when women are forced to leave the hospital following their physically and emotionally difficult breast cancer surgeries before they and their doctors may feel they are ready to go home. For the millions of women and families who have shared their horrific stories of "drive-through" mastectomies on myLifetime.com, this hearing undefined an important first step toward the passage of this bill undefined is 12 years too late. But for the nearly 200,000 women who will face breast cancer this year, it is about time.
This is just the first step. There is still a long way to go. You can help. Sign the petition today and urge Congress to continue to take steps to pass this bill.
