When a woman receives the diagnosis of breast cancer the fear, anxiety and lack of knowledge can be profound. In 2017, an estimated 255,180 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S. along with 63,410 new cases of non-invasive (in/situ) breast cancer.
In Missouri it is estimated over 5,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Black women die at a much greater rate from breast cancer than white women due to the lack of resources, fear and lack of knowledge.
About 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
Valeda's Hope is a 501(c)3 organization, started in 2013, that has been successful in assisting breast cancer patients, but relies on funding from outside sources like yours to provide our valuable services.
Our mission is to WIN lives by increasing awareness of breast cancer, through education and early detection, and to provide mammograms to those in need.
