The mission of You’ll Be OK Too, Inc. is to provide a vehicle for breast cancer survivors and their loved ones to share their stories of survival and provide positive, empowering motivation to those at the beginning or middle of their breast cancer journeys.
Our goal is to provide survivors with a platform for their stories, sharing their feelings and details of their journeys only their Pink Sisters would understand.
When women, and men, are being treated for breast cancer, they’re often disconnected from the outside world. Our mission is to provide hope.
ONE IN EIGHT WOMEN ON LONG ISLAND IS DIAGNOSED WITH
BREAST CANCER IN THEIR LIFETIME.
This donation will help a lot to achieve our mission through community outreach and an undeniable internet presence.
You’ll Be OK Too solves three specific problems.
1. EMPOWERING WOMEN TO GET TESTED: For those who are deathly afraid of the treatment for breast cancer and the effects of Chemotherapy, Radiation, hormone therapy, and surgery – they often don’t get checked until the cancer they fear has taken a foothold in their bodies. When women and men understand that they will be ok and be able to not only survive but thrive, they will be more inclined to seek diagnosis and treatment.
2. PROVIDING A VOICE: You’ll Be OK too provides the testament of other women and the positivity we all need to get through this and become thrivers as well.
3. SAFETY & PEACE: For those already diagnosed, it’s a very scary, anxiety-riddled place. The minute the diagnosis of “You Have Breast Cancer” is uttered to us, we are thrown into a whirlwind of inexplicable fear. We don’t know where to start, who to call, what to do, or even if we’ll live. Together, we can do this.
