Testimonials:
“The fund was a blessing to my life, because I was able to get this exam that I been holding off for years, because I don’t have any insurance. Now I have peace of mind knowing that my breasts are fine.”
“Just wanted to send a “Thank you” to you and the Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation. Having no insurance to cover a mammogram was a huge worry for me. Having breast cancer fun in my family was an even larger worry for me. Not only did the foundation help me with the costs of a mammogram, but it gave me something more valuable – peace of mind.”
