In Their Words
Real voices. Real families. Real impact.
At BCFCF, every story begins with a person trying to navigate one of the hardest seasons of their life. The survivors and families you see here aren’t abstract numbers — they’re people we’ve stood beside as they faced financial strain, lost income, childcare challenges, and the everyday realities that breast cancer brings into a home.
Their words reflect what your support makes possible: relief when everything feels heavy, dignity in a moment that can break it, stability when life is shaky, and the comfort of knowing they don’t have to face any of this alone.
Even though I didn’t receive financial assistance [from BCFCF], I felt emotionally supported. That mattered.

BCFCF is more than just support—it’s a lifeline. Whether it’s financial assistance, emotional support, or simply knowing you’re not alone, BCFCF makes sure no one fights breast cancer by themselves.

I have been volunteering for different breast cancer charities for the last 5 years. I found BCFCF through a charity I was volunteering for that was closing its doors. This charity is amazing, the director Ashley, is amazing, and all the volunteers that I have met are great. Their compassion is amazing. I love what they stand for and look forward to continuing to volunteer for them for years to come.

BCFCF is here for women in Central Florida in ways that truly matter. I’m so glad they are here to help.

BCFCF paid my utility bills in full for four months. That alone was a big help. Paying that one bill gave us a little breathing room to figure things out. It was one less stressor so I could focus on healing.

BCFCF gave me a platform to give back. It’s allowed me to take my journey and use it to uplift others. And the women who support this organization? They’re amazing.

Besides financial support, they give hope. I remember the first gala I worked at—they asked survivors to stand, and I looked around and thought, ‘Look at all of us.’ We are here. A testament that you can survive.

When I met Ashley at Jeepin’ for the Cure, I didn’t realize how important she’d become to me. After my diagnosis, she connected me with a community of people who truly understood. They made me feel less alone.

It’s powerful to know there’s a local foundation rallying behind women going through this. That means something.
