I always try to help women not to be so scared. My best medicine is laughter, so I spread that as much as I can. I’m very open about my journey, because every journey is different, but my story may help a woman get checked and be smart about their bodies and symptoms. I want other women to know that it is scary and an emotional rollercoaster, but that they are not alone in this. We are all a support system for each other, and totally understand the feelings and emotions that we all feel. Please listen to your body.

Sue's Gift was a godsend. We are retired military and extra money is hard to come by. Sue's Gift helped pay all the copays that come with health insurance."

Be Ovary Aware was a game changer...when I was feeling backed up against a wall and the outlook was grim, BOA provided me a reprieve to regain my balance---find friends to walk the walk with, cash to ease financial stress and a network of other helps and activities to light the way! It was the light in my darkness and now it helps me be a light to others!

Financial Assistance Program

We offer economic support to those who have been diagnosed with gynecologic cancer to help with medical and household expenses. Whether it’s health insurance deductibles, doctor’s bills, housing payments, utility bills or prescriptions. Sue’s Gift Financial Assistance Program has made a promise, that no one stands alone when it comes to battling cancer.

Financial Assistance

Woman To Woman

A cancer diagnosis can be an overwhelming experience, we’re here to help. Our Woman to Woman program is a peer-to-peer support program that pairs newly diagnosed gynecologic cancer patients or patients currently in treatment with trained survivor volunteers who provide hope, support, understanding and encouragement from someone who has “been there.” If you are diagnosed with any gynecologic cancer, you can request a mentor – someone who can be with you through the duration of the diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

Peer Support

Cheri is a stage 4 ovarian cancer survivor and a Woman to Woman Volunteer Mentor. Hear how Sue's Gift has helped her through her cancer journey!

There are FIVE main types of cancer that affect reproductive organs:
