Judy Haley established the Pink Daisy Project as an expression of gratitude to all the people that helped her through her fight against breast cancer. She recalls meals, gifts, good wishes, phone calls, cleaning services, and encouragement and "the co-workers I barely knew who donated vacation hours and meals."
Haley was barely 40 when she received her diagnosis. And breast cancer gets a lot of media attention and money for research, but what about tailored assistance to meet the needs of young women often with young children? Pink Daisy Project rises to the occasion offering:
- Housecleaning
- Groceries and meals
- Assistance with prescription costs
- Other assistance as needed
"I want to help people in a way that's not available elsewhere. To be a friend to those who need one. If I could gather up all the young women facing breast cancer who have no one to lean, on and be their friend, buy their groceries, cook their meals, clean their houses and care for their children, I would." --Judy HaleyHaley was recently featured as one of the 2011 CNN Heroes for her efforts.
