So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Is this true?

[mallninjacode-deactivated201812]

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

Also please never forget the pink fracking drill bit

that’s right fracking you know, a process using chemicals known to cause cancer that leech into the water supply

It’s that time of year again, please remember Komen is the actual worst

Komen For The Cure is pretty much awful.

My mother died in 1996 from breast cancer. Most cancer charities are scams, in that people throw fancy parties and get rich off them and very little money goes into research or support for patients. Here are some vetted cancer charities that get good scores on Charity Navigator and pay medical expenses or fund research:

Breast Cancer Research Foundation

Cancer Research Institute

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

63 four star rated cancer charities on charity navigator

As some of you know, I am a sexual assault counselor here in the Bay Area. The agency I work for, Rape Trauma Services, provides services to children and adults who have been hurt by sexual assault and/or abuse, and it is the only agency free of charge in San Mateo County working to prevent and respond to sexual violence. We provide counseling, therapy, advocacy and support to survivors of all ages. 

As a non-profit agency, a majority of our funding comes directly from state and federal funds. However, some of our most challenging and complex cases involve the survivors of commercial sexual exploitation and currently our funding does not cover the intensive case management, placement costs, clothing, hygiene supplies and other things the survivors may need.

Your donation to RTS will help continue to provide services at no cost and help us extend our range of services for trafficked youth and other survivors. All donations are tax deductible. (FYI - the story at the source is about a survivor we worked with and my be triggering.)

Not everyone has the means to donate but helping to raise awareness is so important and I would really appreciate if you could pass this on. If you’d like more information about RTS or to find out about other ways to help, please visit their website or send me a message.

Thank you so much ❤️
