The Need 

Lymphedema occurs in 1/3 of breast cancer survivors, and is not curable. Treatment requires specially designed and prescribed compression arm sleeves, which must be replaced every six months to be effective.

These sleeves are usually NOT covered by Medicare or insurance, and can cost from $60 to several hundred dollars if a custom sleeve is required.

Our Service

We provide arm sleeves to patients who are underinsured and unable to purchase adequate treatment on their own.

You can help. Sponsor an arm sleeve for a patient in need! Your donation will go directly to helping an underinsured patient that does not qualify for grant-funded assistance.

We receive grant funds to treat residents of Lee and Collier Counties, in Florida, from Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Southwest Florida. But we receive requests from all over the U.S. We handle these cases as best we can from our general funds, but the need is greater than our resources. You can help by sponsoring a sleeve for one of these patients.
