A story of how laughter has funded expenses for families with breast cancer.
Our non-profit provides funding for expenses not covered by insurance for breast cancer patients.
The Tutu Project. Bringing cheer and support to breast cancer patients every day.
A ride to chemo. Child care. Food in the fridge. A mortgage payment. The Tutu Project helps people with breast cancer get through their day with support for all those things that cancer doesn’t care about. All the everyday stuff that suddenly becomes unaffordable – even for people with insurance.
And when it seems like getting through the day feels impossible we’re there with a little emotional support too.
