​We know that breast cancer affects more than just your health—it impacts your daily life, your routines, and your loved ones. That’s why we created Sisters Helping Sisters, a compassionate support service designed to help ease the everyday burdens that can become overwhelming during treatment.

 

From escorting you to appointments and running errands to offering childcare support, our trained volunteers are here to help you manage life outside the clinic. This personalized, non-medical assistance is our way of saying: you don’t have to face this alone.

 

Let us walk with you—one day, one task, one step at a time.

 

OUR SUPPORT

 

​​A Companion for Breast Cancer Treatments & Appointments (Maryland Residents)

WBF is dedicated to providing comprehensive support to breast cancer patients from diagnosis to recovery. Our trained sisters provide personalized, non-medical support by accompanying patients to scheduled treatments, follow-up visits, and medical appointments.

 

Your assigned Sister can assist by taking notes during consultations, retrieving prescriptions, and offering a reassuring presence throughout the care process. For individuals experiencing mobility challenges, support with movement and comfort is available to ensure dignity and ease during appointments.

 

Light Housekeeping Services ( Launching Soon)

Breast cancer symptoms and the side effects of breast cancer treatment can take a toll on you. You should rest while a sister takes over essential housekeeping duties to clean your place. Our program includes basic tasks like dusting, wiping counters, sweeping and mopping floors, and vacuuming.  We can wash and put the dishes away, remove the trash, clean the bathroom, and make the bed. 

Help for Everyday Errands (Maryland Residents)

Have you got a never-ending to-do list? No worries.  Call WBF for extra help. Our Sisters can check off a few tasks on that list by running errands for you. It includes grocery runs, laundry drop-offs/pick-ups, and picking up your children from school or the post office. And anything else you need to make things more manageable around the house.

Get Support for Childcare (+Homework Help) (Maryland Residents)

Our support program for breast cancer patients includes special services for moms. It takes a village to raise a child, and as your honorary sisters, we are happy to help. Whether you need time to rest or someone to look after the little ones while you attend appointments, we can help. Our trained sisters can attend to basic childcare needs for infants and children aged 1-12.

 

Aside from childcare duties, a sister can also offer academic help so your child completes their assignments and doesn’t miss any submissions. We prioritize your needs and concerns over everything else. Parents can call in or meet up with the their assigned sister beforehand to ensure they are the right fit for the family.

Company Keeper (Maryland Residents)

Our sisters are here for you when you want someone to keep you company at the hospital or home. We designed this program for women with no family or friends living nearby and those whose loved ones are unavailable during hospital stays. Our Sisters are trained to provide a listening ear and emotional support to help you navigate through the emotional challenges that may arise throughout your breast cancer journey.
