is an organization that supports those women in need when they are often in their darkest hours. It can be incredibly frightening when a women has to deal with the devastating diagnosis of breast cancer, and the overwhelming consequences of the disease, but when there is little or no financial help, it not only makes their fear insurmountable, but may even keep them from receiving the therapies needed for them to combat the disease. is a necessary, and needed, resource to aid those women. Ms. Cynthia Simpson's vision, and those that assist her, are valuable to our community.

My family wishes to acknowledge for all the love they have shown for our dear Gabby. My granddaughter, Gabrielle Garris, was diagnosed in August with a rare type of leukemia. Once learned of Gabby they immediately made contact with the family. They have shown great concern for Gabby and the family. Not a week has gone by without calls or texts. Along with other organizations, raised money to give to the family. They were able to surprise Gabby by driving to Chapel Hill and presenting her mother with the check. Gabby will always remember the Ladies in Pink. Thank you for being inspiring, dedicated, determined, and caring. I pray that God will continue to walk with each of you as you set out to help others through their journey.

In March 2014 our family was hit with a brick -Well it felt that way; however, it turned out to be an assignment from God. It was March 2014 when I received a call from a co-worker at my husband's job. He had fainted and nearly busted his head on a steel pole. I immediately drove thirty minutes to where he was working, and he had no remembrance of what had happened. That was the beginning of a long journey.
My husband Robert was instructed to make an appointment with his family doctor so we did. After his appointment with the doctor, within an hour he instructed us to report to New Hanover Hospital to be admitted for the night (well a one-night stay turned into a four-night stay). Robert’s hemoglobin was a 6.2! He had nearly no blood in his body! A man his size should have a reading of 14.9. After several tests, we were discharged only to return on Tuesday, March 11, 2014, to receive the diagnosis that Robert had Colon CANCER. We began to pray to God for guidance who we knew would answer.
Robert immediately began treatments, followed by several surgeries and long hospital stays. But our God was still in control! We were both out of work for a while; however, I was able to return before Robert. I returned to work on a busy Saturday, and we had several ladies from a temp. agency. One of the ladies' names was Ms. Cynthia Simpson. I call her an “Angel”. She began to share her story with me, and I told her a brief part of ours. We kept in contact, and one day while we were talking, she shared with me about her organization “Empowerment in Pink” -it is amazing! They assist cancer patients with co-pays at their office visits along with other needs. We just happened to need assistance. I made one phone call to Ms. Cynthia, and she got right to work for us. She explained to me that we should never miss an appointment because we could not pay the cost of the visit. As a two-time Cancer Survivor, she was very compassionate. Not only did “Empowerment in Pink” help us financially, but they still keep in contact with our family for continual support.
These people and people like them are not only helping others in this world, but they are carrying out the work of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God will always bless his people.
Eternally grateful,
