TESTIMONIAL
Making life better for cancer patients and families

"As a social worker, we work with many community resources, other cancer foundations/organizations and I can tell you none of them compare to the vast amount of assistance the Comunale foundation provides. They help all cancer types - not every foundation does this - and it is so needed. The Foundation not only helps our cancer patients, they are helping the local communities by helping these patients and their family members with incredible support. The patient is not the only person that benefits, often they have spouses, children, siblings and other family members affected by the emotional and financial toll cancer takes on people. The assistance the Foundation offers definitely helps on a larger scale that we can even recognize. The Comunale Foundation is always looking to help patients, in any way they can. They go above and beyond what is even listed in their application if they are able. Our Akron and Northeast Ohio community is tremendously better because of the Comunale foundation."
