A Community

In the wake of an entity as monstrous as cancer, there must be reparations for the survivors. The sheer volume of shrapnel that embeds itself into the friends, families, children, and diagnosed is immeasurable. In order to alleviate the wounds, whether it be physical or psychological, one can turn to Gilda’s Club.

Gilda’s Club South Florida

“…building social and emotional support as a supplement to regular medical care.”

Gilda’s Club is a safe haven for those who have been affected by cancer. They provide support, education, and most of all hope, through their program. There is not one type of person that is exempt from the grips of cancer. It is a malignant force that ravages indiscriminately. Therefore, Gilda’s Club is easily accessible for all sorts of people from all sorts of socio-economic and academic backgrounds. In fact, the club is completely free— a word which we don’t hear often today.

Through thorough research, Gilda’s Club has created a support system of programs. Some include:

healthy life style workshops
mind-body classes
educational lectures
community resource information.

As you can see, they work hard to construct a community— a family even, as they state:

“We build community, so we can take on cancer together.”
