Why Your Donation Matters
Breast cancer treatment brings emotional and physical challenges — but financial burdens can make the journey even harder. 1 in 5 women will lose her job after diagnosis, and bills don’t pause for chemotherapy.
Pawsitively 4 Pink provides direct financial assistance during breast cancer treatment and for up to six months after, so recipients can focus on recovery and stability. Grants are paid directly to landlords and utility companies — typically $2,500–$4,500 per woman — and every dollar you give stays in Massachusetts. See exactly where the money goes on our Financial Transparency page.

Don't be afraid to ask for help from P4P. They are very easygoing, wonderful people. I told the hospital about you, I told anyone who needs help.

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I was terrified not just about my health, but about how I would keep my lights on and food on the table. Pawsitively 4 Pink stepped in when I felt overwhelmed, offering not only financial help but compassion and hope. Because of them, I could focus on healing instead of worrying about my bills.

Pawsitively 4 Pink is an amazing organization. In Western MA, breast cancer resources are limited, but Michelle responded quickly and offered support I never imagined. Her kindness, generosity, and dedication made a huge difference, and I will be forever grateful.

I have been living with breast cancer since 2021 as a single mom of two, and financially things have been extremely difficult—even facing eviction. Through my social worker at UMass, I was introduced to Pawsitively 4 Pink. Michelle Powers returned my call quickly and has been a tremendous help to me and my family, far beyond what I expected. I wish I could give this foundation ten stars—thank you for your support and dedication.

Pawsitively 4 Pink was a true blessing during my battle with breast cancer. Facing surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, I struggled both physically and financially, and support from others wasn’t always there. Michelle Powers and the P4P team provided understanding, compassion, and practical help, allowing me to focus on recovery. I am deeply grateful for their support and cannot thank them enough for helping me get back to life.

I have been living with breast cancer since 2019 and brain cancer since 2021, facing the most challenging period of my life. When Michelle and her team learned of my situation, they responded with compassion and dignity. Pawsitively 4 Pink helped me secure a safe vehicle for medical appointments and provided rental assistance, allowing me to refocus my finances. Their personalized support has reduced my stress and allowed me to concentrate on my health and recovery. I am deeply grateful and will keep them in my prayers.
