[FLASH FUNDRAISER] We Need Your Help Today!
We’re more than an organization. We’re a family.
Today, we have a gap that needs closing before midnight.
For the survivors we serve, this is urgent. Rent is due. Lights need to stay on. Food still has to be on the table while treatment continues.
We need your help today so no one in our program has to choose between care and basic needs.
Why We’re Reaching Out Right Now
Today is critical. Our cash flow has slowed, and we have a gap that needs closing before midnight.
We’re not asking for a long-term pledge right now. We’re asking for immediate action today.
What’s at Stake: Our Core Programs
When we talk about "keeping the mission alive," we aren't just talking about office lights and paperwork. We’re talking about real, tangible support for people in the thick of the fight. If we don’t hit our goal today, here is what hangs in the balance:
Financial Freedom for Fighters
This is our flagship program. We provide direct financial assistance for rent, mortgages, utilities, groceries, and transportation. We have a 100% success rate in preventing evictions for the families we serve. If we can't fund this program, families who are already physically and emotionally exhausted will face the trauma of homelessness.
EmpowerHER Wellness
Breast cancer isn't just a medical issue; it's a wellness journey. Our workshops cover everything from nutrition and exercise to mental health and financial literacy. We help women navigate the complex financial burden of breast cancer, ensuring they have the tools to survive and thrive long after treatment ends.
Beyond the Diagnosis Mentoring
No one should fight alone. This program connects survivors with peer mentors who have walked the same path. It also provides free therapy sessions and professional coaching for those navigating the workplace while dealing with cancer.
The True Cost of a Diagnosis
Breast cancer is also a financial crisis. When treatment interrupts work, the bills keep coming.
That’s why today matters. Even $10 or $25 can help close the gap for a mother in DeKalb or Fulton County.
How Your Donation Works Today
Giving is simple, fast, and secure through Givebutter.
- $10 helps cover gas to treatment.
- $50 helps put groceries on the table.
- $100 helps keep utilities on.
- $500+ helps prevent eviction.
If you can’t give big today, any amount helps us close the gap before midnight.
A Story of Survival
Sarah, a single mom in treatment, was terrified of losing her apartment while fighting breast cancer.
"I wasn't just scared of the cancer; I was scared of my kids seeing me lose our apartment."
We helped her stay housed. Today, we need support to keep saying yes to women like Sarah.
Your Impact in Real Time
We aren't a giant, faceless corporation. We are a lean, local nonprofit with deep roots in Atlanta. When you give to IWS, your money doesn't disappear into a black hole of administrative costs. It goes directly to:
- Rental assistance
- Utility payments
- Mobile Wellness Clinic outreach
- Peer support and mental health services
We’ve raised over $4 million since our inception, and every cent has been a brick in the wall of protection we build around our survivors.
Take Action Now
We have a gap that needs closing before midnight.
If you’ve been meaning to give, today is the day. We’re doing everything we can on our end, and right now, your gift helps keep support moving for survivors in treatment.
