Cancer Kinship   

Help Transform Fear Into Hope

When someone hears the words “you have cancer,” life changes instantly. Fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming decisions often follow. No one should have to navigate that moment without guidance, support, and a community that understands.

Cancer Kinship invites you to be part of that community.

Founded in 2018 by Yoli Origel, a 17-year survivor of Stage III Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Cancer Kinship was created to empower individuals in the cancer community to confidently face the disease. Our goal is to help reduce the risk of cancer recurrence while improving quality of life by addressing the emotional impact of cancer and the barriers that stand in the way of not only surviving—but truly thriving after a diagnosis.

With the support of donors, partners, and community members like you, Cancer Kinship provides programs that support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. These include peer mentorship and support groups, survivor empowerment and education, community resource navigation, and the Kinner Beauty Free Wig Program, which restores confidence and dignity to individuals experiencing hair loss during treatment.

Together, we are building a community where cancer patients, survivors, thrivers living with incurable cancers, and caregivers can find the support, knowledge, and encouragement they need to move forward with strength.

How You Can Help

Your generosity fuels this work.

• Peer mentorship and support groups, such as "Cafecitos Hope" Spanish support group that provides culturally responsive support
• Education and wellness programs, such as "Painting Your Heart", "Music for Wellness", and "Nature Walks for Wellness" that empower survivors to improve their long-term mental and physical health
• Resource navigation that helps families access critical support services such as food, housing support, and mental health services
• Free wigs and salon services that restore dignity and confidence during treatment

Every gift—large or small—helps ensure that individuals facing cancer have access to compassionate support and life-changing resources.
