The group recognized the need for support, education, and care extends beyond medical intervention for those diagnosed with the disease.
Their vision is to be a support group that provides support and assistance to breast cancer survivors and their families, and to enlighten, educate and address real needs for those affected by breast cancer.
Here are some of the services and programs they offer to breast cancer patients, their families, and the community:
* CARE Program (Cancer Awareness Resource Encouragement): Provides financial assistance to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and facing financial challenges. This program provides resources and referrals of financial assistance for items including (but not limited to): medical-related lodging, medical co-pays, office visits, and prostheses (as funds are available) based on an application process.
* Angels Education and Outreach Program: Provides opportunities for ASC to raise awareness about breast health. The primary objectives of the ASC's outreach and educational programs are to: 1) enlighten and educate the public on the importance of breast cancer education; 2) to increase breast cancer education and reduce cultural barriers for underserved, minority women and 3) to increase breast cancer screening rates in the Houston Metropolitan area.
* Angels Network: Provides support, networking and collaboration opportunities for survivors, their families and friends. Within this network, real life "Angels" provide one-on-one care to those who are undergoing breast cancer treatment as well as a source of support to their families. Angels UP (Uplifting People): A counseling program that helps breast cancer patients, and their families, with a sense of control over their diagnosis by assisting them with maintaining their quality of life and developing coping mechanisms in the face of cancer. Monthly support group meetings.
* Angels Scholarship Fund: ASC award scholarships to high school seniors whose mothers succumbed to breast cancer.

When hearing what the most dreaded news about is perhaps a loved one -- "You have cancer" -- information, sound, concrete and simple answers to questions can make a world of difference. Having someone there to provide a shoulder to lean on; or offer a cooked meal; or even to assist with navigating the maze of insurance, financial and medical concerns is, to a grieving and emotionally-distraught family - an angel.
