CPSP2023’s

Current Projects

CANCER PATIENTS & SURVIVORS PROJECT 2023

We are a startup nonprofit organization. So far, we have established two community-support programs to ease cancer patients’ recovery journeys to wellness. Additionally, there are two programs that are currently in development. Please see below for more info.

Vendors Program

The aim of this program is to help cancer patients with their cancer-recovery costs by minimizing the impact of cancer-related expenses through discounts and reduced fees.

For the past year, CPSP2023 has worked with three vendors: Organic Prairie/Organic Valley, Tai Chi Acupuncture & Wellness Center and Arlington Vision Center.  Each vendor has provided 15% discount across their services and products to all cancer patients, survivors, their loved ones, cancer-care givers and CPSP friends.  Moreover, it is because of these vendors’ commitment to helping cancer patients that CPSP was able to get off the ground officially in November of 2023.

Cancer Buddies Program

The aim of this program is to walk with cancer patients through their treatments, be it chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery.  It is about being there for them—to check in, to see how they are doing, physically, plus, symbolically, to let patients know that they are not alone.  Many patients may share the same type of cancer, but each will have their own individual, unique journey towards recovery and survivorship.

Healing Methods &

Micro Grants Programs

The aim of the Healing Methods Program is to help cancer patients and survivors learn more about a variety of methods that can aid cancer recovery, such as acupuncture, meditation, qigong, tai chi and yoga.  In addition, the Micro Grants Program is designed to help individuals who are disabled by cancer and-or are on public assistance.  Its aim is to provide a small grant so that groceries can be delivered readily; or a small appliance is purchased for easier meal preps; or simply, the replacement of a much-needed pair of glasses.  Both of these programs are at different stages of development.  Please visit our site again for more info.
