ACT NOW to Help Us Continue Our Important Work Contact your elected Officials Today! Dear Voornaam, The effects of the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are extending far and wide. For members of the hereditary cancer community, this crisis presents unique challenges, as many people fear for their health, have screenings and surgeries canceled and struggle to access basic medical care. With more Americans learning that they have a hereditary predisposition to cancer every day, our work is more important than ever. We understand that many Americans are facing lost income and financial hardship during this time. FORCE’s ability to raise critical funds to fulfill our mission of ensuring that no one faces hereditary cancer alone is also at risk. Lawmakers are currently drafting coronavirus relief legislation to help industries impacted by the coronavirus. We need your help in asking senators to include charitable organizations, like FORCE, in that package. Please Take Action NOW! We want you to know that FORCE staff and volunteers continue to serve our community during this challenging time. As many of us are practicing social distancing and “sheltering in place,” staying connected with people who understand is important; our helpline, peer navigation, local support and message boards can help you feel less isolated. Thank you for your support! You are not alone. Together we can get through these trying times. Sincerely, Lisa Schlager Vice President, Public Policy |
