"The more educated you become the better prepared you will be to prevent and/or fight it."
WE ARE FIGHTING for a CANCER PATIENT’S SURVIVAL “today”, believing we can make a difference by providing the tools needed to begin the fight of their life. Patients and their family, and the Public gain a better understanding of cancer through the proper educational materials we make available. Patients who walk through our Mesquite Cancer HELP Society door find the personal time and empathy they need to help them deal with their illness. After eligibility is established they can rely on an expedited response for help with various medical tests, counseling, fuel vouchers, prescriptions, hospital supplies, medical equipment, support group meetings, transportation, doctor’s visits, and other services. We stand hand-in-hand with cancer patients giving them FAITH, HOPE, Strength, and COURAGE!
Because at a time when it seems there is little hope, the Mesquite Cancer HELP Society shines it’s beacon of hope to all local cancer patients who apply regardless of condition or social economic status. Thank You.

The Mesquite Cancer HELP Society has done so much for me and my appreciation is overwhelming. They give me round trip fuel reimbursement from Mesquite to St. George for my doctor’s appointments, radiation treatments, cancer tests, physical therapy and pain management treatments. They paid for my first voice box with Indwelling Prosthesis. Mesquite Cancer HELP Society has been a savior to me.

I was very lost and frustrated trying to work with insurance companies. The Mesquite Cancer HELP Society helped me work with them straightening out all of the problems and dealing with my cancer bills. They literally saved my life and my sanity
–Nola Reid - Uterus Cancer Survivor
In August 2004, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had no idea where to go or what to do, and then I found Yoli Bell, in the little construction shack on Mesquite Boulevard which was the home to the Mesquite Cancer HELP Society. It was there that I found hope, kindness, information, warmth and friendship, all of which together added the help, which pulled me through. I am eternally grateful.
–Angela Romano-Fotos - Colon Cancer Survivor
When the big “C” visited my wife and me, we were relegated to financial, physical, and emotional isolation. We felt so ALONE! After 5 years, my wife lost her battle to cancer and mine started 10 months later. Mesquite Cancer HELP Society was there for us, and to this day, we are grateful. They have been a godsend and a rock to cling to and always vigilant for me and all of Mesquite.
