2008 Banner Year for SOS
This year, Sense of Security will hit two major milestones in its mission to provide a sense of financial security for Colorado breast cancer patients. Before the end of 2008, we will have paid out our One Millionth Dollar toward housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, COBRA or insurance premiums and other basic living expenses of breast cancer patients. And we will have assisted our 500th Colorado breast cancer patient.
As of the end of 2007, we had provided a total $915,869 to 456 individuals since our inception in 2000, in the following categories:
Category |
Amount |
Rent/Mortgage |
$469,675 |
Groceries |
$224,151 |
Transportation |
$107,515 |
Utilities |
$91,590 |
Health Ins/COBRA |
$13,962 |
Other |
$8,973 |
As you can see, about 75% of the assistance we have provided has been for housing assistance and groceries. These basic needs have been the top requests from breast cancer patients throughout Sense of Security's existence.
We are proud that so much of our funding goes to ensure that breast cancer patients can stay in their homes and have enough good food to nourish them during their debilitating treatment.
