Testimonials

"One day when I returned home from a painful treatment I felt extremely tired, wiped out and depressed until my roommate handed me a piece of mail from the H.O.W. organization. When I opened it I could not believe what I saw before me. Immediately tears of joy and happiness started flowing, may I add non-stop, for the generous donation. I knew I could breathe a little easier knowing that my rent was paid for and that my car insurance would not be cancelled. Wow. I was truly blessed.

Words cannot express how your organization’s donation lifted my spirits. It was amazing and once again I say 'Thank You' from the bottom of my heart and soul."

I am a stage 4 ovarian cancer patient currently undergoing chemotherapy. My cancer appeared randomly and suddenly after experiencing a stroke. My life has been changed in ways I cannot articulate.

With help like yours, you bridge the gap from being in desperate need and being helped during tremendous challenges. It's help like H.O.W.'s that makes a difference in the lives of cancer patients like me. You've already helped to pay my rent and car payment. In the coming days, I'll have more chemo and within nine more weeks, I may qualify for surgery to remove my cancer's mass in my abdomen.

Thank you for the work you do and how you are impacting people like me through unimaginable challenges. I am humbled and grateful for all you do to make life better for cancer patients like me. May God continue to richly bless you in all things and ways.

I was so deeply touched and relieved when I received the assistance for my rent and utilities.

By way of background, I am a registered nurse (RN) by trade, and I have worked in all areas of hospitals as well as specialty clinics. I have always been so proud of the work I do and when I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, I had to stop working, as the chemo treatments made me vulnerable to illnesses from the patients in the hospital. Imagine my shock at not being able to work and therefore no money coming in. I applied for social security, but the processing for this can be months. I was literally out of money.

The generosity of HOW truly saved me, and the kindness of your staff who helped me through this time, was amazing. The work you do is crucial and lifesaving at a time when the recipient of this funding is probably at the lowest she has been.

I am hopeful that my treatment gives me many more years of productivity and as part of that, I would like to give back one day to your amazing organization.

"Fighting ovarian cancer is a difficult ordeal under the best of circumstances. It takes your full strength and determination. Many women facing this life threatening battle must also deal with financial challenges brought on by missing work and extra treatment expenses. Donations to the H.O.W. Jacquie Liggett Angel Fund help free these women to fight ovarian cancer and worry less about other pressures."

Ann, Survivor and H.O.W. Supporter

"I am overwhelmed with gratitude that H.O.W. paid my bills for me. It is very hard to go through the pain and fear that comes with having cancer. Thank you so much for your support and kindness and all the good the H.O.W. organization does to help women like me."
