Empowering Women with Breast Cancer
Compassion in Action!
We provide Temporary Monetary Assistance to Local California Women
experiencing Financial Distress due to Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
California Breast Cancer Patient Assistance
Many women diagnosed with breast cancer face additional financial burdens during their treatment and recovery. As a local non-profit charity in San Diego County, we are proud to provide financial assistance to these women who live in and receive treatment in Southern California.
Our Gift Card Program, funded by donations to Shades of Pink Foundation California (SOPFCA), is a lifeline for eligible applicants experiencing financial hardship due to their treatment. We help women pay for expenses such as food, fuel, and other essentials by providing gift cards for local grocery stores, gasoline stations, and “big box†stores. The application process is simple: women are referred to us by a care coordinator at their cancer treatment center, and we provide their choice of gift cards within days.
Please Note: SOPFCA program applicants must be referred by an appropriate healthcare provider. Please do not contact us directly. If you are interested in our program, you should contact the health care professional where you are receiving care to assist you with filling out an application. If they have not worked with SOPFCA before, have your health care professional contact us so we can provide more information about our application process.
