  1. Not having cancer, but being BRCA positive, I always felt outside of the cancer community. I feel very grateful for Sharsheret because I can connect to the Jewish community and other women at high risk. Finding Sharsheret was the first time in my life that I truly felt like I belonged.

  2. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for your wonderful organization. I had chosen not to confide in anyone besides my husband and at times I felt like the burden was just too much. You were a tremendous help.

  3. I have to thank Sharsheret for your support. I learned so much from speaking with my Link. She gave me the power to act and not to react. She empowered me.

  4. I am thankful for the knowledge and ability (both educationally and financially) to take on BRCA2 proactively. i am thankful to feel strong enough to help others who find themselves in the same position. I am thankful for those who did that for me.

  5. I am thankful for the incredible organization that my awesome friend Rochie Shoretz and her crew have built. I am thankful to Hashem for bringing Rochie and Sharsheret into my life and allowing me to help others. It is a privilege and honor to be associated with Sharsheret.

  6. I am so thankful to be here alive and well with my family. Thanks to the support of Sharsheret and the resources they make available, I endured one of the worst years of my life more easily and came out better for my experience.

  7. I am so thankful that I wake up every morning feeling healthy and strong and see my wonderful husbands' face (and my cockapoos' too :) There are no words for my thanks that my husband and both daughters, all high risk for brca2 are negative. I am grateful to 'take it for the team.'

    I am so thankful that my oc surgery is 18 mos. behind and I am almost one year chemo anniversary. I am bless to have amazing and supportive family and friends. I am grateful for every minute I spend with them.

    I am so thankful that now when I go to the University of Pennsylvania hospital on a regular basis, it isn't for a five hour chemo drip, but to volunteer as a 'cuddler' in the intensive care neonatal nursery, rocking preemies whose family cannot always be there.

    I am so grateful to becoming a grandmother in the spring!

    Good health to all !

  8. I am so thankful for my friends and family who are supporting me thru my recent diagnosis of breast cancer. And I am thankful for Sharsheret's amazing programs and support. It has only been 3 weeks since my diagnosis, and I've already received multiple packages and emails from Sharsheret.
