If you want your #GivingTuesday gift to support young adults facing the most isolating days of their lives with cancer, look no further than Cactus Cancer Society! ?? Individuals who face cancer between ages 18-39 may experience things like: - Not relating to their peers anymore - Being the only person in their 20's and 30's in the cancer center - Hearing "you're too young for this to happen!" from healthcare professionals - Getting laid off or having to step away from their career for treatment - Trying to explain cancer to young children - Loss of fertility - Financial setbacks that last a lifetime - Chronic physical & mental symptoms long after after treatment ends - Losing their identity & sense of self ...The list goes on. Our virtual creative coping programs connect and inspire creativity among young adults facing cancer and have proven to reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety. ??

When was the last time you considered what creativity means to you? Maybe you’re a beginner baker, a renowned painter, a living room musician, an engineer, a craft enthusiast, or a writer. We are all creating something every single day, building the world that we want for ourselves and our community through our creativity. For a young adult, cancer derails the world they are building. Cactus Cancer Society’s Art Workshops provide a platform for young adults facing cancer to get inspired and express their creativity through art. But they’re about so much more than that! We all know what it's like to feel alone, but these workshops ease the isolation and anxiety cancer brings by connecting young adults with others who truly understand what they’re going through. Through the programs at Cactus Cancer Society, survivors experience a tangible reduction in anxiety, depression, loneliness, and psychological distress. We can’t do this work alone. Today, on #GivingTuesday, you can support these programs that create a safe space where young adults facing cancer can cope through creative expression and peer connection. You can provide the tools they need to make art, to find a community, and to not be alone in their experience. Will you help us reach our fundraising goal of $2,600 today?
