Our Impact

"You are changing this man's life!"

"Dear folks at Chicks n Chaps, Thank you so much for your way beyond imagining generosity and caring - opening the card brought a flood of tears as you are helping us pay a good amount on our debts.

Thanks you and God bless you and we put you folks and those you help on our prayer list.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! With gratefulness and appreciation."

"Chicks n Chaps, Thank you so much! Your assistance and kindness has meant the world to me and made a real difference in my life. There aren't words to express how grateful I am!"

"Chicks n Chaps, Thank you for such a generous gift! It makes all the difference to our budget while we work to pay off my medical bills. Your willingness to help women and families affected by breast cancer gives us extra peace of mind in difficult times and shows how far a little kindness can reach. Words cannot express how truly grateful I am for your organization!"

"Chicks n chaps helped me not have to worry about how I was going to pay for breast cancer treatment.
Chicks n chaps reached out to me when I didn't ask for help making me feel not alone in my battle."

"When I was diagnosed for the 2nd time with cancer my family and I were devastated. When my friend found this out she went to bat for me and other cancer patients and set up CnC in Kalispell. We all chipped in to help, because we knew what great things CnC do for cancer patients. That 1st year we did pretty good. We had a little get together afterwards and I was presented a check from CnC that made the world of difference for my family. When you're not ready for the unexpected and have CnC there for support it makes a world of difference in your life as well as your family because you know you are not alone and there is this organization out there to help so many and to make that difference! I will always be indebted to them and my friend who made a difference and is still here for me!"

"Without this support, I don't know how we could have afforded the gas so I could access my treatment ."

"There are good people out there who really want to help people in my situation"

"My social workers, Jessica in Post Falls and Cyndi in Coeur d'Alene, helped me apply for help through the Kootenai Health Foundation's Cancer Patient Support Fund and put me in touch with the Patient Advocate Foundation to help offset some of my expenses and prescriptions."

"Receiving these grants allowed us to catch up on bills while my husband was between jobs,"

"...I didn't want to ask for help - I'm not the type of person to ask for help, but I so appreciate their support."
