Redemptive hope. That's what Michigan-based The Pink Fund offers to women by providing financial support to breast cancer patients in active treatment as a way to help them meet basic needs, decrease stress levels, and focus on healing. The 90-day grant program makes payments to patients' creditors for housing, transportation, insurance, and utilities. The organization was recently featured on WXYZ-TV Channel 7.
