Patient & Caregiver Services
Because no one should face cancer alone.
At Latinas Contra Cancer, we provide compassionate, culturally rooted services for individuals and families navigating cancer. Our programs center those most impacted by systemic inequities — immigrants, monolingual Spanish speakers, the uninsured or underinsured, and low-income communities. From diagnosis to survivorship, we stand with patients and caregivers every step of the way, ensuring access to care, dignity, and justice.
Services are available in English and Spanish.

Mutual Aid in Action
Collective Care • Powered by Community
Our communities have always known how to respond to crisis by sharing what we have, caring for each other, and building the relationships we need to survive. Mutual aid is about meeting urgent needs, deepening solidarity, and organizing for lasting change, especially when systems fail us.
