In addition to giving 100% of silent auction funds raised to established Alaskan breast cancer organizations, PRD Charities, Inc. has volunteers who annually assemble and distribute about 400 “comfort bags” to breast cancer patients in Alaska.

TESTIMONIAL FROM NURSE:  "One of my most pleasant experiences with handing out these gift cards...was with a young father who has two teenage children.  Due to his treatments, and the side effects of chemotherapy, he was unable to work.  His condition steadily worsened, and he was placed on hospice.  The whole family was involved in helping care for this patient.  Yet through it all he remained upbeat and positive...He and his wife broke down into tears when they received the gift card.  They expressed to me that with so many medical bills, and growing teenage children in the home, money was tight for groceries.  They stated they had been praying mightily for a way to be able to go to the store and get groceries for the upcoming week.  In giving him this card, he was able to supplement his grocery bill, and were both very appreciative.

PROGRAM: In the spirit of compassionate giving, three nonprofit organizations are collaborating to give $50 gift cards (from various retail stores) to financially-challenged cancer patients receiving treatment in the Anchorage area. Many cancer patients travel from outlying towns/villages to receive chemotherapy/radiation treatment in Anchorage. They may need assistance in a small way with food, gas, clothes, etc. This program will help to quickly address these needs without endless paperwork.
