Say YES to Young Adults Facing Cancer
Every time we open registration for a program at Cactus Cancer Society, we’re overwhelmed by how quickly spots fill. Within minutes, young adults facing cancer sign up, longing for connection, understanding, and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone.
But right now, our resources only stretch so far. That means too many young adults are placed on a waitlist. And every time we say “no,” it hurts, because we know just how much a “yes” can change a life.
This month, you can change that.
Be One of the 14
We’re looking for 14 new monthly donors to step up and join The Greenhouse, our community of monthly supporters. By giving just $21 per month, you’ll say YES to young adults who are waiting right now.
Every $21 says YES to one more young adult impacted by cancer.
What Your YES Means
When Alex joined our Art Workshop, she was less than a year out of treatment. It was the first time she had ever experienced support in a group with others facing cancer.
“If I had something like this when I was going through active treatment, it would have really helped,” she shared. “Talking with people of a similar age group who had any sort of clue what ‘I’m so tired I can barely walk to the bathroom’ really meant – and how taking a nap wouldn’t help – made such a difference.”
The workshop gave Alex space to “channel some creative energy,” and she says, “I would absolutely suggest it to someone else now that I know about Cactus Cancer Society!”
Your monthly gift makes experiences like Alex’s possible.
Why It Matters
Young adults facing cancer often feel isolated. They’re longing for connection, understanding, and the simple relief of knowing they’re not alone. Our programs provide more than just activities. They create safe spaces to share stories, process the ups and downs of cancer, and connect with others who get it.
When Jamie first joined our journaling workshop, she told us, “You don’t know what these programs mean to young adult survivors and the connectedness that it brings to people. The groups make me less alone and isolated and a free space to feel and think about what it means to have cancer and survive it.”
And just 3 months out of chemo, she said, “Cactus Cancer Society has been so helpful in navigating survivorship… connecting with other survivors has been so healing.”
Your gift turns isolation into connection.
Turn No Into YES!
When you join The Greenhouse, you’re doing more than making a gift; you’re standing alongside young adults in one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
🌱 $21/month = one YES
🌱 $42/month = two YESes
🌱 $63/month = three YESes
Together, we can cross the finish line of this campaign and make sure no young adult hears the word “no” when they come to us for support.
So will you turn a no into a YES by becoming a monthly donor today?
