Breast Cancer: it affects over 1.4 million
women every year: mothers, daughters, sisters, friends. While
researchers work fervently to find a cure, millions are living
with the pain and adjusting their lives to survive.
BeCause is the brainchild of breast cancer survivor Kathi Adams
and business owner Vera Stewart. Kathi found that while undergoing
cancer treatments, it became more and more difficult to provide
home-cooked meals for her family. The fatigue and illness that
came as a result of chemotherapy left her too drained to prepare
the type of nutritious meals she thought her family deserved.
Calling upon her friends seemed to Kathi to be an imposition.
After racking her brain, she came up with a solution.
Kathi approached Vera Stewart, owner of VeryVera Homemade Confections,
Gourmet to Go and Fine Catering in the summer of 2007 about collaborating
on a project called BeCause. BeCause gives women undergoing breast
cancer treatment the opportunity to provide home-cooked meals
for their families without actually doing the cooking. Through
corporate sponsorships and sales of family meal packages, VeryVera
is providing meal vouchers to give women a chance to serve their
families a casserole, vegetable and bread funded by genuine concern
and generosity.
How It Works:
Anyone can order meals or items from VeryVera’s BeCause line
of products and a portion of the proceeds will go to the
BeCause voucher program. In return, BeCause give
pre-paid meal vouchers to those newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer
through affiliated breast health centers. DONATE NOW
